In Residence

BALLADE OF THE MAY TERM TENNIS and cricket have come to stay, Five o'clock is the time to bring Tea and strawberry ice, and play Various dulcet jargoning; . Lazy paddle all day to swing, Lazy pipe to kill ennut’s germ, Lazy, lazy everything :— Sing heigh-ho for the glad May Term ! O hooray! merry boys, hooray! Flannels are pleasures that have no sting. Everyone’s white and cool and gay ; Everyone looks as if a wing Might any moment sprout and spring, Turning him into an “alb’ inerm’ Angelum,” like Aladdin’s ring; Sing heigh-ho for the glad May Term! O the trees are out to-day! O the buds are blossoming! O the snow and the wind are away! O the sun of the late sweet spring ! 17
