"Years passed; we grew; I loved her more and more,
And pleased our relatives th' attachment saw;
But soon I left for Cam's far distant shore,
Exchanging love and peace for ancient lore.
Yet short my college life appears, for I
Had well been trained, and sought to try
To soar above the mass, and force proud Fame
Within her tablets to inscribe my name:
Not from ambition, but the wish to prove
Worthy my guardian's and Rosina's love.
