Then I departed to Apollo's shrine To ask of him, his mighty aid, divine. Through many days, in fervent prayer I sought That he might tell me what the Future taught. A message came, to say that I must wait For he, Apollo, would come hence in state, Because oi the importance of our class, Which none e'er did, or ever will surpass. APOLLO DICIT. Oh, youthful prophet listen but to me And I shall make thy eyes the future see. But speak thou now the names, and I will tell Their futures truly, and will tell them well. APOLLO CANIT., George Bryce- A bright young lad and full of wit. 'Tis he Who will in law most busy ever beg A politician of great renown- I-Ie'll be elected mayor of this town. Florence Botefuhr- She'll marry soon, and settle down and play The better half for many years, and gay. I see her living happily, ah, yes, Her lot will surely be one of the best.
