Rider H O, thellong and dreary lesson l. . O, the dull and tedious lesson! Ever deeper, deeper, deeper Grew the frown upon his forehead, Ever harder, harder, harder ' Boned the fellow on his Horace ' Boned the verb, and '.'cussed the teacher In the room and round the hallway. Hardly with his tattered pony, Could the rider force a passage 3 ' With his lips all set and fixed Vainly sought he through the booklet, Sought for verb and noun and found none Saw no trace of quid or quibus, On the page beheld no footnote, ' Stopped he there and went no further. On the morrow in the class-room, Flunked the rider dead as logwood, For the teacher in his- keenness, Had , perceived the tattered pony Lying there behind the text-book. Now upon his homeward journey Goes the rider, but not willing 3 a ' -For the Profs in all their anger Had decreed that he must leave us. O, the pony and the rider! I O, the riding of the pony! 209
