(OR, NEVER A BARREL THE BETTER HERRING) O CAMBRIDGE, attend To the Satire I've pen'd On the Heads of thy Houses, Thou Seat of the Muses! Know the Master of Jesus Does hugely displease us; The Master of Maudlin In the same dirt is dawdling; The Master of Sidney Is of the same kidney; The Master of Trinity To him bears affinity; As the Master of Keys Is as like as two pease, So the Master of Queen's Is as like as two beans; The Master of King's Copies them in all things; The Master of Catherine Takes them all for his pattern; The Master of Christ Hits them all to a hair; The Master of Christ By the rest is enticed; But the Master of Emmanuel Follows them like a spaniel; The Master of Benet Is of the like tenet; The Master of Pembroke Has from them his system took; The Master of Pembroke Has all the same features; The Master of St. John's Like the rest of the Dons. P.S.--As to Trinity Hall We say nothing at all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MEANING OF THE LOOK by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING FUCHSIA HEDGES IN CONNACHT by PADRAIC COLUM FATHER O'FLYNN by ALFRED PERCEVAL GRAVES THE HARLEM DANCER by CLAUDE MCKAY LUKE HAVERGAL by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON NEWS OF THE WORLD: 3 by GEORGE BARKER A CONCEPTION by DAISY MAUD BELLIS |
