tall pole,
Who follows King and Antrobus,
Though he's "pulchrior ambobus."

Be all thy wants by those supply'd,
Whom charity ne'er fail'd to move{5}:

5 This eccentric creature has for many years subsisted
entirely upon the bounty of the Etonians, and the
inhabitants of Windsor and Eton, who never fail to
administer to his wants, and liberally supply him with many
little comforts in return for his harmless pleasantries.

Then to Salthill speed on,
While the troops they lead on;
Both Mr. Beadon,
And Serjeant Mitford,
Who's ready to fi't for't.
Then Mr. Carter follows a'ter;
And Denman,
Worth ten men,
Like a Knight of the Garter;
And Cumberbatch,
Without a match,
Tell me, who can be smarter?
Then Colonel Hand,
Monstrous grand,
Closes the band.
Pass on, you nameless crowd,
Pass on. The Ensign proud
Comes near. Let all that can see
Behold the Ensign Dansey;
See with what elegance he
Waves the flag--to please the fancy.
Pass on, gay crowd; Le Mann, the big,
Bright with gold as a guinea-pig,
The big, the stout, the fierce Le Mann,
Walks like a valiant gentleman.
But take care of your pockets,
Here's Salt-bearer Platt,
With a bag in his hand,
And a plume in his hat;
A handsomer youth, sure small-clothes ne'er put on,
Though very near rival'd by elegant Sutton.

Thus then has pass'd this grand procession,
In most magnificent progression.
Farewell you gay and happy throng!

Etona's motto, crest, and pride,
Is feeling, courage, friendship, love.

Farewell my Muse! farewell my song'
Farewell Salthill! farewell brave Captain;
As ever uniform was clapt in;
Since Fortune's kind, pray do not mock her;
Your humble poet,
