" Memenio LouvainI" — or "Rheims, fie'/ivrjaOe \" " Oxford I " they crv, " shall beer-swillers fleece thee ? " And still — though their breath comes yet more
short — They drill like mad to preserve her port.
Ill
See, in the foremost rank,
His brow with sudor dank,
His gown unpipeclayed in his loyal hurry,
Private Professor Gilbert Murray ! —
Hear, oh, hear,
With almost swooning ear,
The sergeant (Chiron in disguise),
With how sarcastic drawl he
Damneth the eyes
Of Private Prof. Eng. Lit. Sir Walter Raleigh ! —
See yet again
With uncontrolled pleasure
There, marking time amain
As with such feet as make a lyric measure.
Like iEschylus upon the Marathon day, —
Next to that nice ex-proctor, —
Private and Poet Laureate Dr.
Bridges, M.A. ! —
And see — but let your eyes with pride be dim ! —
Him who professes Art and Archaeology
Standing as rear-rank man to him
Of Anthropology.
