Defeat—or Something Near It.
When a few months ago on the Thames with the oar
The 'Varsities met in a contest of strength,
7 to 2 were the odds that the Dark Blues would score
A win, which they did—by a lucky half-length:
And last week, when the thousands assembled at Lord's
To see Cambridge win by an innings—at Cricket's
Great luck they're astonished, as Fortune awards
The Light Blues the game—by a couple of wickets!
