Here you will find the Long Poem Stinkomalee triumphans of poet Richard Harris Barham
WHENE'ER with pitying eye I view Each operative sot in town. I smile to think how wondrous few Get drunk who study at the U- --niversity we've Got in town, --niversity we've Got in town. What precious fools 'The People' grew, Their alma mater not in town; The 'useful classes' hardly knew Four was composed of two and two, Until they learned it at the U- --niversity we've Got in town. But now they're taught by JOSEPH HU- ME, by far the cleverest Scot in town, Their items and their tottles too Each may dissect his sister Sue, From his instructions at the U- --niversity we've Got in town. Then L--E comes, like him how few Can caper and can trot in town, In pirouette or pas de deux -- He beats the famed Monsieur Giroux, And teaches dancing at the U- --niversity we've Got in town. And GILCHRIST, see, that great Gentoo Professor, has a lot in town of Cockney boys, who fag Hindoo, And larn Jem-nasties at the U --niversity we've Got in town. SAM R-- corpse of vampire hue, Comes from its grave, to rot in town; For Bays the dead bard's crowned with Yew, And chaunts the Pleasures of the U- --niversity we've Got in town. FRANK JEFFREY, of the Scotch Review,-- Whom MOORE had nearly shot in town,-- Now, with his pamphlet stitched in blue And yellow, d--ns the other two, But lauds the ever-glorious U- --niversity we've Got in town. Great BIRKBECK, king of chips and glue, Who paper oft does blot in town, From the Mechanics' Institu- tion, comes to prate of wedge and screw, Lever and axle, at the U- --niversity we've Got in town. LORD WAITHMAN, who long since withdrew From Mansion House to cot in town; Adorn'd with chair of ormolu. All darkly grand, like Prince Lee Boo, Lectures on Free Trade at the U- --niversity we've Got in town. Fat F--, with his coat of blue, Who speeches makes so hot in town, In rhetoric, spells his lectures through, And sounds the V for W, The vay they speaks it at the U- --niversity we've Got in town. Then H--e comes, who late at New- gate-market -- sweetest spot in town! Instead of one clerk popped in two, To make a place for his nephew, Seeking another at the U- --niversity we've Got in town. There's Captain Ross, a traveller true, Has just presented. what in town 's an article of great virtu, (The telescope he once peep'd through, And 'spied an Esquimaux canoe On Croker Mountains), to the U- --niversity we've Got in town. Since MICHAEL gives no roast nor stew, Where Whigs might eat and plot in town, And swill his port, and mischief brew -- Poor CREEVY sips his water gru- el as the beadle of the U- --niversity we've Got in town. There's JERRY BENTHAM and his crew, Names ne'er to be forgot in town, In swarms like Banquo's long is-sue -- Turk, Papist, Infidel, and Jew, Come trooping on to join the U- --niversity we've Got in town. To crown the whole with triple queue Another such there's not in town, twitching his restless nose askew, Behold tremendous HARRY BROUGH- --AM! Law Professor at the U- --niversity we've Got in town. --niversity we've Got in town. GRAND CHORUS: Huzza! Huzza! for HARRY BROUGH- --AM! Law Professor at the U- --niversity we've Got in town.
