POEMS BY EMINENT HANDS.

THE GATHERING OF THE FRESHMEN.

To make their standing plain.

And, as they toddled through the yard,

Their songs were heard from far:

Some sang the deeds of famed Malone

Who lived behind a bar;

While others called on Mary Ann, -

A friend perhaps of Ma.

And, kicking up an uproar thus,

They boarded many a car.

AT THE PLAY.(In the manner of the Blind Maeonides)

As when a breeze from the west stirs the ears of the sleek-footed cornfield,

Or as the swift-trotting flies buzz and hum round a keg of molasses,

Thus, in their seats at the Globe, supported by Atlas, John Stetson,

Swayed, rocked, and murmured aloud these blameless, cloud-gathering Freshmen.
