A DECISION As a maid to nice, With step precise Tripped o'er the ice, She slipped , her care in vain, And at the fall, With usual gall, The school-boys call, "Third down ; two feet to gain."—Ec Oh ! Preps a joyous lot you are, And free from every care, With naught your happiness to mar, Or make you want to swear. All day through street, and alley too, You roam with careless feet, With nothing in the world to do, But just to sleep and eat. At night while I with aching head Seek knowledge dearly bought, You slumber peacefully in bed Without one care or thought. Take back my soul, take knowledge, too, Turn from fame's path my step, And make me once again like yOu, A giddy, soulless Prep.
