el Tgfologue lie- all-I6 O, for a muse of tire that would ascend The brightest heaven of invention ! Pens worthy to portray the swelling themes That glow about us in grand constellations! Then should the canvas of our page present No less an image than full collegelife, Its festive quips and pranks, its orbed whole, In the full-tuned harmony of happy thought. But pardon, we implore you, gentles all, The flat, unraised spirit that hath dared, In this unworthy effort, to bring forth So great an object 'i g can faint-hearted words Aim at an issue ne'er yet compassed quite By the bold venture of a noble past? 4' O, pardon l since a crooked figure may Attest in little place a million, So let us, ciphers to this great account, On your imaginary forces work- Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts Nor hedge the compass of our good intent. Gur unfledged trial with mild censure scan, Not with disdain, no applause with-hold Where honest effort shall a fancy please. Let nimble jesting be unrevengeful thought, Chose but as tint the picture to complete. Deep philosophic ponderings elsewhere seek, Nor deem 'tis failure where 'tis logic-less. No merit claims our work save, mirror-like, An image true to its original. With this, do we your humble patience ask Gently to read, kindly to judge-our task. 9
