Ye Robber of ye olden day,

A jovial blade was he;

A short life and a merry one,

And then ye gallows-tree.

On rich and poor alike he preyed,

Nor ever did endow

A Learned University

As Robber Chiefs do now.

Ye modern robber is not known

By such an ugly name:

He does it more politely.

But he does it, just ye same.
