THE CRIMSON 23 RUBAIYAT OF A SENIOR. QAfter Omar Khayyam, and not expect- ing to catch up.l I. Before the sun began to rise, Methought I heard a Voice from down- stairs cry, Awake, get up, you lazy girl, And wend your way to school, no longer lie. II. VVe are no other than a silly row Of poor dubs that come and go, From this big Building, ruled All day, by the Man We all well know. III. The stupid Student writes, and having writ, Moves on, nor all his shrieks, nor prayers, Shall move the Prof to change the awful grade, Nor all his tears wash out a bit of it. IV. O Thou, who didst with lessons, and with special work, Beset the Course I had to travel in, Thou wilt not, with awful wickedness, Flunk me, and blame it all on laziness. V. VVaste not your time, in the vain pursuit Of Latin, History or Math., Better be happy, in the movie show, Than saddened with the cares that make you older grow. VI. And if the coke' you drink, the lips you press, Shall keep your Mind from the studious Way, Look not in the Teacher's eye, with innocence, and say, Oh, Iwas so sick. yesterday. VII. The latest slushy novel, a hammock 'neath the bough, A box of chocolates-and Thou Beside me, warbling the latest rag, Oh, that were Paradise enowl VIII. Yon placid clock, that looks at us again, How oft hereafter will she ring in pain! How oft, ticking, look for us Through these same halls, and for us in vain. IX. And fear not, lest the School, losing us, Should know our like no moreg The School from- its doors has poured forth Hundreds of atoms like us, and still will pour. THE MAN IN MOON. The Man in the Moon-of course ltwas in June, Fell in love with a maid here below, But he in despair Was up in the air, And so could not show her he cared. He finally tho't, as Moony Men 4'-uglit, Of sending the lady a note, So he pulled at his hair, And told how much he cared. And these are the words that he wrote: Oh, Lady, my dear, the beauty of you, Nothing, no nothing could improveg But the stars up here Are not able to draw, Like the light of your dfreamy eyes do. The Moonbeams are bringing this mes- sage tonight, They are bringing it straight to you: It's the chance of your life, Be a brilliant man's wife, And send back the message, I do. But the Maiden replied, No, it canlt be denied, That the Man in the Moon is both hand- some and bright: But it's nix for you, I'll have nothing to do With a Man that stays out all night. So that is why the Moon is still out, As handsome and bright as ever, But only to think, He has taken to drink, And stays full during whole days and nights. . -Wfzwe Htrplfer.
