19* 222 PAETINGTONIAN TATCHWOEK. And impish trick and vengeful spite Essayed with all their skill and might To make the balance poise aright ; And hate, sharp-witted, Ne er left occasion, day or night, To pass omitted. I see it now : the whittled doors, The window-panes smashed in by scores, The desecrated classic floors, The benches levelled, The streaming ink from murky pores, The books bedevilled. Small reverence for Learning s fane, For master s toil of nerve and brain, They saw Instruction... marred with pain, And Alma Mater Was thought of only by the train To deprecate her. Tis strange to have thee in my grasp, My fingers round thy handle clasp ; No sense of pain my feelings rasp, As last I knew thee ; Then thou didst sting me like an #sp, Foul shame unto thee ! But gentler moods suggest the thought That still thine office, anguish-fraught, For my best good unselfish wrought, Had I but known it, And I, with grateful spirit, ought To freely own it. GRAPE-SKINS. 223 Perhaps but I am glad at heart That thou no more bear st sovereign part In helping on Instruction s art By terror s rule That other modes will prompt the smart Than this in school.
