CAMBRIDGE SOCIETY.

CHARACTERS.

I've followed Ulysses to Hades,

And can tell you the name of each star.

I some time intend

To polish off Zend,

And paint in my summer vacation.

I think that the men

Are tyrants, and then

I fully believe in cremation.

MISS PASSITON. Niece, I am shocked that one so well brought up

Should waste her time in such ungentle ways.

Do you forget the gratitude you owe

To your poor mother? She now weeps to hear

Such sentiments so unbecoming you.

The world is all before you, and you show

An ignorance of how one may succeed.
