De Studiis
History, Latin, English, Greek.
Are studies which we all do seek.
We wish to know the time and place
Of each new progress of a race:
We wish to speak the language old
Of Homer and Achilles bold:
Of Caesar, Vergil, Horace, too;
We learn them as if they were new:
And Mathematics hard and great
We try to shove into our pate.
But oh! with English we just stop
And let our heart go flippy flop
While wond'ring what we're coming to
Abhorred exams in two weeks due.
Just Before an Examination
I came and stood alone with beating heart.
For with my blessed knowledge I must part:
On paper now must be all things I knew
—And also many things I didn't, too.
