On Oxford + 

The Gothic looks solemn, + 

The plain Doric column + 

Supports an old Bishop and Crozier; + 

The mouldering arch, + 

Shaded o’er by a larch, + 

Stands next door to Wilson the Hosier. + 

Vice,⁠—that is, by turns,⁠— + 

O’er pale faces mourns + 

The black tassell’d trencher and common hat; + 

The charity boy sings, + 

The Steeple-bell rings + 

And as for the Chancellor⁠—dominat. + 

There are plenty of trees, + 

And plenty of ease, + 

And plenty of fat deer for Parsons; + 

And when it is venison, + 

Short is the benison,⁠— + 

Then each on a leg or thigh fastens. + 
