DEDICATION VERSES. Within this book we hope you'll find Neought to incite emotions unkind, A single pang of heartfelt grief, Or slightest sorrow, e’er so brief; But let each line the muse inspires Be filled with ardent, wise desires, That every goc d on us may rest, And every blessing be possessed, Whate’er we ask for those we love, From earth below or Heaven above. That nought writ’ here by us may blast One bright remembrance of your past; Or raging thoughts or rash revenge, Be caused by aught we here have singed. Let warm affection, pure and bright, Cast o’er each page its hallowed light. T hus may this Annual ever be From sneer, and scorn, and passion free; From every grosser taint refined, An emblem of the stainless mind; And though our friends afar may be— Beyond the wide, wide rolling sea— O, think not they will e’er forget The wisdom, wit, they here have met!
