The lllliirror. IV But while we would not weakly bow, And lift our hands in great 'ipow-wow, And beg with tears the sacred nine, Through human mind to dimly shine, We would not curse the trembling muse That dwells within our heart, but use The talent God has given, to find A golden mean, and thereby wind. V A Chainl' around our hearts that ne'er Will break, and weave a Souvenir That none will find too dear to buy, But all too dear to let pass by, Then rise, thou trembling muse, and tell The story that thou lovest so well In metric dance full of thought, With wit and truth together wrought. vi J uniors of Seventy-two, we stand U nited in both heart and hand. N o self-made fiattery we need, I n order that we gain the meed 0 f praise from those from whom it 's due R ound this, our motto, once anew, S inccrely let us how and kiss E 'en Aus voruvr 1-aomulsgfl VII V ow all that, this our motto still E ver shall be to climb the hill N ow looming up before our eyes. T o none let 's bow below the skies, Y earning for help. With our own wings 'I' o fly above all common things, W e should aspire. Then upward still 0 'er all we'll go-up life's great hill. VIII A nothers' words-anothers' thought, L ook at-they may be iinely wrought, I n them may be some jewel rare, - S ome diamond thought divinely fair,
