TI-IE COLLEGIATE. ODE IX OF HORACE See distant lofty Soracte ll ith gleaming snow-capped peakg And yonder groaning forest Under heavy burden weakj .-Ind the flowing water halted By the winter cold and bleak. Heap lzigh the 'wood upon tlze hearth Till a merry flame is fanu'd,' Pour forth, O Tlzaliarehu-s lVith still more generous hand From out rich Sabine 'zvinerjars Choicest wine in all the land. All else that can annoy you now Enttrust it to the gods For once they still the battling 'winds That rend the driven clouds- The cypress will no more be szvayed, Nor the aged ash-trees bowed. For to-morrou s cares let to-morrow care You know you fret in 'z'ain,' lfVhate'er of days the gods mcte out Is counted so much gain. And now my boy, talre this advice li lzich is both wise and sane-. Scorn not the amorous joys That belong to merry youth But eagerly spend tlze days outdoors :Ind the eifenings under the roof: For the dancing floor and lsoary agc Do not agree, in sooth. Mjllfll twiliglzt brings the trysting hour- .-lbove tlze bree:e's murmur Is heard the laughter of the girl Lying hidden in. the corner, ll'ailing for the searching lover lflfho comes with flowers to adorn her. .-1 soft snsurrus in the night- The twilight stillness broken By lo1'e s sweet promise being made In youthful ardourg a token He asks: the bracelet from her wrist Or her fnger-ring is 'taker-1. O SUN Suu- on a rock, gold on the lake, .-1nd I lie dosing The wind calls, the 1c'a'z'cs Call, Yet I lie reposilzg. Ah, the sun's rays creep softly dozen, Covering me zefth a coat of brown, llfind in the leaves, the trees wlrine, The waves call, but dreams are mine. O BEFORE A JUNE EXAM I meant to study lzard that day, But the slry was blue as blue could be, It 'was at day in June your see. The wind bleu' moelcingly in my hair, So what could I do but sit and stare, l'V0l1dC'l'illfl at God's glories there, And dream. O Fhmrcuce Brown, X Rachel Buchan, V R. E. B., V
