Ye Editors’ Invocation vF OUR delightful school days, and the fruit Of South High learning tree, whose mortal taste Brings light into the world, and all our joys With loss of lessons, till some teacher great Flunk us, then we regain the passing mark Sing. Heav’nly Muse, that in the ample seats Of A room, or of B room, didst inspire Those writers, who first told the graduates In the beginning, how the senior class Came out of South High, or, if essay work Delight thee more, and poetry that flow’d Fast from the pen of the author, we thence Invoke thy aid to our adventurous book. That with no middle flight intends to soar Above all annuals, while it pursues Things oft attempted now in prose or rhyme. And chiefly thou, O Reader, that dost prefer Before all novels, th’ upright book and pure Peruse this, for thou know’st, thou from the first May’st read it, and with mighty mind devoted Owl-like, set brooding o’er its mighty depths. And learn its contents, what in it is dark Pass over, what is good read and enjoy That from the leaves of this great argument I hou may’st extract sufficient mental food To justify the price of it to men. — 1 he Editors.
