nights in town! Ah Lady Bess, Dean, Tutor. Warden—all say yes—
 * We'll dine to-night in Leicester Square;
 * Just think—to-night!—and I'll be there

By six—the Paddington Express.


 * And you will say (O, I can guess
 * Just how) Dear Mr. Cleverness,
 * From all your studies, think, to spare
 * Three nights in town!

The theatre? I like that less Than fireside talk, I must confess,
 * For there are questions . . . you will wear
 * A scarlet ribbon in your hair?

O think, from Oxford's grim duress
 * Three nights in town!
