fdedlcdfion. I IND lady of Easton-loveliest town In all the realm of Keystone's wide domain, Truly art thou a queen without a crown, Save that which nature did for thee attain, And on thy brow, a matchless beauty placed, Matchless true, save perchance a fairer one Thy rival neighbor's queenly brow hath graced, And kept her braids, by fairest beauty won- Yet IlOt for this, kind one, we hate thee more, - W'e love thee still and crave thine artful aid To succor now, as oft thou hast before, And bless with them this book, thy friends have made The book, we justly claim, lacks naught of truth, For else 't would scarcely suit the student here To praise thy name and claim in turn, thy youth To add new lustre to productions rare. In wildest freaks of wit, in doleful rhyme, ' liVe've sought with greatest care to frame alglass . Where each may look and see his ev'ry crime, And further still, may know the why, his class, And others too, have called him this or that- Did we say each ?, how sad was the mistake, For some who, like the cowards, thought that what The glass 'd reflect for them would justly make Unsightly scenes of vile conceit and pride, Did beg us not, just now, to make them known, So that the glass reflects nor dude nor snide, But only those who, less sin seeds, have sown. Now Easton Dame, thou Nknow'st what we would say' In this which now we dedicate to thee: XVe'd have thee to ev'ry such, a tribute pay And teach thy numlrous friends -like thee to be. 6
