some sing the joys of our rivers,
 * The Isis (or Thames) and the Cher,

Let some swot for Mods and for Divvers
 * Or loaf at the Clarendon bar,
 * These pleasures I rate below par

For another I pass them all by—
 * More seductive than all of them are

The windows that shine in the High.

Let others (more riotous livers)
 * Frequent the Cadena bazaar,

Let East Oxford empty her quivers
 * At the heart of the young Lochimar—
 * My pastime to view from afar

Many things I would willingly buy
 * (Did not £ s. d. shortage debar)

In the windows that shine in the High.

There are fur coats (for those that have shivers)
 * Pictures, bric-à-brac, jams by the jar,

Wines, whiskeys and cordials for givers
 * Of binges, and waters from Spa;
