Lighter Lyrics
May Week
O . DONS have cheer
And wranglers be you glad !
Since Phyllis is come down, so gaily clad; To idle near The flowery banks of Cam, To eat asparagus and strawberry jam, To kiss her love Good-night, twixt daisy-close (" Good-night ! ' Good-night ! Good=night !") and ope of rose.
Proctors take rest !
Professors go your lane !
Dillys is come to dance with John again . . . In all 'her best, And he and she to-night • •
Will shuffle and re-deal the world aright. What matter though examiners be rife.? •
Dillys has " passed " for the rest of life 1 Pedants be meek And doleful dons be rare Chloe is come, to meet her love (of Clare) In this May Week, To lunch on mayonnaise, To dance and dally, laugh and -love and- laze, '
TO breakfast rosily at nine o'clock— •
Her nursery face above a Paris frock. • - - - • BARBARA EL`PHAN 'TODD. —
