Wherein can “sweets” makes girl-graduates exult!
Oh! think what they might have taught Philistine readers,
Expounding, maybe, Browning’s foggiest line!
Instead of which now of mere worldly joys heeders,
They look upon sweetmeats as something divine.
Once as apostles our teaching they aided—
Even contributing cash with much glee;
But now to mere chocolate-worship degraded,
On Sweets, not on song, do they spend £ s. d.!
Fun. March 31, 1886.
