How dear our hearts the scenes of the school
room,
When fierce examinations putting us throa.h:
The Prex and the Profs- and the long sr,ed visitor
Who sits and asks questions having nausht else to do
The wise headed sage who sits and is cyein.
The students to see if they re studying we'll
Sits pryng. and spying, and rubbing and signing
So very near crying thought he'd spell:

face radiating the heavenly radiance of Apollo and
discovered that Remus not only jumped over the
walls of the former but that of the class lacked
the capacity to jump mentally: therefore, like
Jacob. he had constructed ladder, by which he
