BY ROBERT BRIDGES PRINTED AT THE PRIVATE PRESS OF H. DANIEL FELLOW OF WORCESTER COLLEGE OXFORD 1884
THE Author of these poems is too well aware of their demerits to allow them to be republished thus without some apology. But it happens that the Printer, at whose request this selection is made, is willing to take so fair a share of the blame as to make any further explanation unnecessary.
One Hundred and fifty copies printed. This is No. ——

Of my boyish day;
While I once again

In the selfsame strain
