Colin
When Colin did to Western come,
And scaled the slopes of UC's mount,
He turned, and turning saw afar
Great Throngs of Students past all count.
Help,
oh Provost, Prez, and Soph,
Or
this day we will rue!
Help,
oh Senate, help oh Prof!
These
imps will us undoe!
Now, Colin hail'd from Brampton far,
A simple soul, he'd ne'er the time
To chase the wisps of academe
But thus astonish'd, took to rhyme.
Help,
oh Provost, Prez, and Soph,
Or
this day we will rue!
Help,
oh Senate, help oh Prof!
These
imps will us undoe!
First came the Artists, fleck'd with turps
Their souls aflame, a breed apart.
"What, paint a tree? a flow'r? a face?
"A colour'd blet — now that's true art!
Help,
oh Provost, Prez, and Soph,
Or
this day we will rue!
Help,
oh Senate, help oh Prof!
These
imps will us undoe!
