AN UPSTART.
T-he end aloft shall be ir.y aim,
H-owever dark my road to fame,
E-’en though I bear a boastful name,
F-ree on my pinions must I be,
R-egarding most my liberty !
E-nticing haunts entice not me,
E-’er I have made my pathway free,
L-ance in my hand I’ve thus a chance,
A-gainst the cold world’s haughty glance,
N-ow plunged I am in life’s gay dance,
C-ome, for my college to enhance,
E-mblazoned as the bold Free Lance !
