AS TO THE PROF.
Curious reader, didst thou ne’er
Behold a worshipful chemist there
Seated on his revolving chair,
Then cast thy longing eyes—
It is a February day—
And in his new-born state survey
One here!
AS TO THE ONE QUIZZED,
The Lord had made it soluble.
The old Prof, thundered, and the student once so voluble
Dropped through the floor; although it’s not impossible,
’Tis queer.
To rise from little into great
Is pleasant; but to sink in state
From high to lowly is a fate
AS TO SOPHISTO M. ENGINOS.
Too soon his shine is overcast,
Chilled by the next reporter's blast,
His blushing honors only cast
He casts his fur and sheds his chains,
And moults till not a plume remains;
The next impending term distrains
He slips like water through a sieve;
Ah! could his little splendor only live
Another short term, he would give
So dear ?
Severe.
One fear.
His gear.
