The Spike: or, Victoria College Review 1912
Warning
Warning.
You whose days are bright with sun,
Questing maid of twenty-one,
Life is very tragic!
Pain with pleasure intertwining,—
Joy's silk hood with sorrow's lining,—
Even in Love's magic
Poison in the philtre lurking,—
Satyrs in the shadows smirking,—
So you'll find, ere life is done,
Questing maid of twenty-one.
—Anus.
