To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There's not a student in the land But will singly mill three policemen. With his castor glazed, and dreadnought coat, He values batons not a groat ; The ladies hearts he doth trepan, But breaks the head of a policeman ! Sing down, &c. The provost and his silly tail Would shut my student up in jail, Because he fought, and never ran From bailie, mob, and policeman ! Sing down, &c. For loaded muskets then they sent, And this my love did circumvent : Against the army stand who can ? Although he thr...ash each policeman ! Sing down, &c. But, Oh ! they caught him at the last, And shut him in a dungeon fast : But when my love is free again, Look out ye snobs and policemen ! Sing down, &c. as Published by R. Weston 8? Sons, No, 1, South College Street, and 31, Lothian Street, — of whom may be had the University Parody on " %4wat/ to the Mountains J&rowJ" Away, away, to the College Yard, Where the balls are thickly flying, And the sticks shall echo in gladness again, To the Charlies' heads replying : And courage, my boy, in thy heart shall dwell, Like a lion, when roused by his foes, While the Students the Charlies shall fell, As easy as blowing my nose.
