} Owed to Virgil Virgil thou art the bane of youthful minds, Thy works do tax the student’s patience sore, And press upon his spirits more and more. They are by far the hardest of all kinds. In theip no saving grace the student find , As seeking for the gold within the ore He cons the hateful lessons o’er and o’er. He in despair of finding, soon resigns. Thy cases fit the meter, not the rule ; Thy fancy soars in similes sublime. From dactyl to spondee thy foot doth change; Thy moods can ne'er be learned in any school ; Thy ancient tale will puzzle to all time, And will the minds of studious ones derange. H. E. B., ’08.
