The Spike: or, Victoria College Review, October 1909
Carmen XXXVIII
Carmen XXXVIII.
Persicos odi, puer, adparatus. . . . .
Spare me, boy, the formal state
Of your dinners up-to-date,
Frenchy dishes, silver-plate
And the swallow-tail;
Let us rather take our ease
In undress beneath the trees
Washing down our bread and cheese
With a mug of ale.
Arthur Chorlton.
Slow man, fast man,
Old man, baby,
Richmond, Hunter.
Brown and Lady,
Never mind how
Loath you may be,
Come and join the Corps.
— Willis.
They are still a young Corps, in fact mere infantry.
— Evening Post.
