Rh But your wars are all ended, you’re now at your ease,
 * The Regents are bound for your debts;

You may fleece your poor students as much as you please, Tax boldly, matriculate, double your fees,
 * You can pay off all scores in brevets.

So a health to your highness, and long may you reign,
 * O’er subjects obedient and true;

If the snaffle won’t hold them, apply the curb-rein; And if ever they prance, or go backward again,
 * May you horsewhip them all black and blue!

D.
