An unbounded jollity is of my life the rule, Sir, Since it leads me gaily through youth's rosy paradise: Comes a Manichean in, an old dunning fool, sir, I'm sure to give him much good advice. "'Slife! hear you now, sir, I want my gold." "Cease jaw, Camel, I've none, and that's soon told." _Spoken_.--Make thyself scarce. Old Lamentable! Give time! or I'll pay thy long bill with five silver groschen. Agio.--We'll knock it all off (pointing to his stick, and showing his five fingers.) Quickly doth the old fool fly, And I laugh till fit to die. Pray then when a-fresh the rhino cometh in, sir. An unbounded jollity, etc. Morning to the lectures go; nine-pins in the evening; Early, in old house-coat; not till late our toilet made. To Commers then haste away, For there's pawked in a Fox to-day. _Spoken_.--"Silence, Fox! hold your tongue when Old Mossy Heads are speaking."--"Ah! Heavens! I can drink no more of these healths. It makes me so ill."--"Hold thy tongue, Fox! Thou hast yet only emptied nineteen choppins of most excellent beer. It is not worth talking of. Study only three years, and thou'lt bring it up to nine-and-twenty." So we had the Commers here, Jolly still with wine and beer, For we are but young once, in our life so fleeting. An unbounded jollity, etc. Meet I now an Exquisite, who comes stately sailing, Who right flat and swelling larger draws near. Then trample I on his toe--then wondereth he; I tread it again--then waxeth be wroth. _Spoken_.---"Hear you there! Was that done purposely with the foot!"--"No; it was done with the heel."--"So! but that appears to me very strange?"--"Do me then the only pleasure; find nothing strange here. You are a Stupid Youth!" And the duel then is seen, For the wit is mighty keen;-- Strike him a thundering Winkelquartè![34] As unbounded jollity, etc. Find I then a sweet maid and loving, Then contains Ovidii Ars Amandi, good advice. "Ay, but wilt thou marry me?"--"Don't be afraid; When I've once my office got, 'twont be delayed." _Spoken_.--"Aha! that's just as it happens! First I go to Jena, there to study the _Nefas_; then go I to Heidelberg, study there the great _Fasss_.[35] That's the way of it." And then comes the tug of strife, With the Pandects, life for life. Then after, examen, office calls, and then for marriage. An unbounded jollity, etc. I'm a great philosopher, of the school of Hegel, And his system follow I to the life. The Beadle is upset, the Philistine is teased; Goes all wrong--the Prorector is appeased.
