NORMAN STAUNTON DIKE. Brunonian.
~At the North Avenue Fire.~
The boy stood in the burning block,
Whence all but him had fled;
He smashed the china on a rock,
But saved the feather bed.
A.M. WHITE, JR. Harvard Lampoon.
~I Love my Love.~
Every one thinks some face fairer
Than all others in the land,
Thinks this one alone is perfect,
Vows to her his heart and hand.
Then he sings in loudest praises
Of her wealth of golden hair,
Of her lips like ripest cherries,
She alone divinely fair.
But there's one that's quite forgotten,
One whose charms they fail to see;
Yet in my abject devotion
Fairest of the fair is she.
There's not one half so entrancing
Or so makes my poor heart thrill—
It is Martha Washington's picture
On a bright one dollar bill.
