An arbitrary line ’twixt rich and poor,

No butteries, or other institutes,

To make poor students feed rich cooks—no tufts

To mark nobility; except such tufts

As indicate nobility of brain.

As to your fellow-students, mark me well—

There are five hundred maidens in these walls

All good, all learned, and all beautiful.

You must select your intimates from these;

They are prepared to love you; will you swear
