To the Town of † Albane went I:
Where with Wine I was so undone,
As the Hand which guides to London:
In my blind Hand I received,
And her more Acquaintance craved.

Drawing near them, they did smell me:
And like two mishapen Wretches,
Made me, ay me, wrong my Breeches.
Thence to Highgate, where I viewed
* City I so dearly loved,
And th' Horn of Matriculation
Drank to th' Freshmen of our Nation;
