XXX i' The Legend of A Gude Faculty A CHAUCERIAN FRAGMENT' Whilom, upon a fair September morn, A Youth there was who left his fields of corn To University High, to mak a pilgrimage To gain in wisdom, gret was his courage, So up this lusty rustic did arise Ate seven of his mother's pumpkin pies. And hied him forth to that renouned scole. Ther would he show that he was not a foole. Straight he went to that big Woodworth Halle, And saw before him his companions alle. Then went he on a tour of inspection, To see things had this youth a predelection. Upon the rostrum, one of kind face was sitting, Who sate in regal dignity, lik to a king. His eyes were keen, and gazed on alle 'round, And at some naughty freshman oft-times frowned But all loved this king for he was fine and true And was a soul of helpfulness to all he knew For spite of all his outwardly reserve This king was kind and gude as is a gude preserve A nonne was ther, dainty of manere, A charming laydie, ful of gudely cheer, Around this nonne was ther a large group, So loved was she by al this Glee Club troupg They learned to sing their operetta in gude time, Wel did the crowd enjoy a mirthful rime. And, one ther was, a Master of Phisiks, In al this world ne was ther noon hym lik To speke of Phisiks and of Chemistryeg Wel was he grounded in Biologye. His face was studious, long and narwe, Wel might he represent the famous Darwin, Or an Archimedes might he be ful welle, For he knew science, this I to you do telle. A Suffragette was ther, who loved Algebra And sarcasm did hurl at lazy ones they sayg And with her grades did shatter al the dremes Which scolers dremt of passing, so it semes. And yet did scolers in gret humblesse Still seke lerning in thes Mathenesse, Ther to pour out their here-blood in vain- Ne tears nor beauty could a seventy obtain.
