The Dean Of Faculty

  1796</p>

  The Dean Of Faculty</p>

  A New Bald</p>

  Tuhe Dragon of Wantley.”</p>

  Dire was the hate at old Harw,</p>

  That Scot to Scot did carry;</p>

  And dire the discord Langside saw</p>

  For beauteous, hapless Mary:</p>

  But Scot to Se'er met so hot,</p>

  Or were more in fury seen, Sir,</p>

  Than 'twixt Hal and Bob for the famous job,</p>

  Who should be the Faculty's Dean, Sir.</p>

  This Hal fenius, wit and lore,</p>

  Among the first was number'd;</p>

  But pious Bob, 'mid learning's store,</p>

  ahe tenth remember'd:</p>

  Yet simple Bob the victot,</p>

  And wan his heart's desire,</p>

  Which shews that heaven boil the pot,</p>

  Tho' the devil piss in the fire.</p>

  Squire Hal, besides, had in this case</p>

  Pretensions rather brassy;</p>

  For talents, to deserve a pce,</p>

  Are qualifications saucy.</p>

  So their worships of the Faculty,</p>

  Quite sierit's rudeness,</p>

  Chose one who should owe it all, d'ye see,</p>

  To their gratis grad goodness.</p>

  As on Pisgah purg'd was the sight</p>

  Of a son of Circumcision,</p>

  So may be, on this Pisgah height,</p>

  Bob's purblial vision—</p>

  Nay, Bobby's mouth may be opened yet,</p>

  Till for eloquence you hail him,</p>

  And swear that he has the angel met</p>

  That met the ass of Baam.</p>

  In your heretis may you live and die,</p>

  Ye heretic Eight-and-Tairty!</p>

  But accept, ye sublime Majority,</p>

  My gratutioy.</p>

  With your honours, as with a certain king,</p>

  In your servants this is striking,</p>

  The more incapacity they bring,</p>

  The more they're to your liking.</p>
