MEMORIAL POEM.
READ AT THE ANNUAL DINNER OF THE BOSTON LATIN SCHOOL ASSOCIATION, APRIL 29, 1886.
A Latin-School poem? ’Twere easy to write
On a theme so suggestive an epic at sight,
An ode, full of fire, or, if that wouldn’t do,
An Eclogue, or even a Georgic or two,
With allusions to classical roots, and Greek ponies
Hard ridden and worn—I confess that my own is.
