The Spike: or, Victoria College Review June 1902

Act 1

Act 1.

"Choler," collar—This is a pun, therefore to be avoided by students. Such a vile practice is unknown in the Macaulay flowers of English Literature.

"Aurora "—A goddess. Also known as Borealis or Australis.

"Feather of lead "—Distinguish.carefully from sugar of lead.

"Star-crossed lovers "—Astrological allusions are very common with regard to lovers; such terms are no doubt suggested by their moonlight propensities.

"Coz"—Presumably a printer's error; not found in Webster.

"Fray"—A fight; somewhat resembling a Hockey match.

"I'll be e candle-holder and look on "—The modern term is "goose-berry."
