Every year adds on its store- But thou hast it all, and more. Mr. B-- sedately rises, But there are in store surprises, Suddenly his hat, too tight, y Splits its sides to left and right, Now with learned eloquent tongue His noble speech is just begun, When they see him with pain turn yellow Tearing from his head the, halo, And his friends in horror see That his head must bandaged bo, If they wish to save his life Till he meets his loving wife. Larger ever his head increases, Steadily, and never ceases. Hands are now in anguish wrung, For they hear an awful HBANGH Darkness follows quick, Mr. B-- falls like a brick, Hits his head against a chair, Soon forgets he mustn't swear, Clambers up and rubs his head- Must have dreamed that I was dead, Awful sleepy-had a fall.

Hailing him with shout and song, Praise him! Hail him! King of Learning! Surely he will need no burning! Let us lead him toute de suite To his mansion on Main Street. Shakespeare, Milton, kneel before him, Vachel Lindsay hovers o'er him. Milton speaks, To thee, O King, We come on light fantastic wing, Let us lead thee to thy home, There to rest thy weary dome. Then they quickly draw a curtain, And he hears in tones uncertain, Chaucer speaks: 'Tis thine-thine own, Built of marble, Wood and bone, All materials were donated By your pupils who, ill-fated, ' Gave their heads to prove to you. Mr. B-- with quick emotion, Views the vast and lofty mansion, HTell them -but he chokes with sobs, Thought them all a bunch of snobs. I do hereby undertake To correct my sad mistake. Dante takes him by the hand, A Leads him up the stairway grand. Victor Hugo has the key- ' This I now present to thee. 'Tis a key to Vergil, and, Written by that poet's hand. While our hero with delight Gazes on his mansion bright, Loud resounds o'er hill and dell A welcome sound-the dinner bell, Quickened all their appetities, Up the street they fly like kites To a table in the park, Where they hear dear Shelleyls lark, There on languages they feed, Sliced to suit each poet's need, From a bubbling fountain drink Philosophy to make them think. Dinner o'er they loud proclaim- Speak, oh speak, thou man of fame! Tell us all the world doth know Of knowledge, years do come and go: 58
