And so there in the firelight dim
The Proctor laughs in glee,
He caught two fellows more to-day;
To-morrow he 'll catch three;
In truth the semiannuals
Are rich for such as he.
Don't like the picture I have shown?
You think its tints too bright?
It is because you look at it
In too severe a light.
O Proctor! may some better brush
One day paint thee aright!
ION.
