midnight
He has also been a large contributor to those beautifully printed , useful , and fashionable hebdomadals , the Milliners ' Literary Gazette , Young Ladies ' Companion , _ et id genus omne _ . The ode ran thus : -- The warrior fights , and dies for fame -- The empty glories of a name ; -- But we who linger round this spot , The warrior 's guerdon covet Nott . Nott for the miser 's glittering heap Within these walls is bartered sleep ; The humble scholar 's quiet lot With dreams of wealth is troubled Nott . While poring o'er the midnight lamp , In rooms too cold , and sometimes damp , O man , who land and cash hast got , Thy life of ease we envy Nott . Our troubles here are light and few ; -- An empty purse when bills fall due , A locker , without e'er a shot , -- Hard recitations , or a Knot . Ty problem , which we ca n't untie , -- Our only shirt hung out to dry , -- A chum who never pays his scot , -- Such ills as these we value Nott . O , cherished ***** !
