An Lpisode, The Sophomore year had at last rolled around And George Leroy White a sweet maiden had found The girl alone ever made his heart bound With a joy that can 'lever be told. Her home was, however, so far, far away, And G. L. so sleepy the following day, The boys of his class in a spirit of play Thought to move his belongings down town. So after the Parlor, one Saturday night, While G. L. was courting without any light, And now and then holding his girl's hand so tight With a feeling of bliss too supreme, The boys gathered all in his room up at school Determined this lover for one time to fool And placing his trunk for the want of a mule On a wheelbarrow, started down town. In solemn procession, they all passed along With thundering tones of Professor Hull's gong, Increased by the notes of a new college song, To the Duchess' of Green street, you know. The trunk of this knight from the far Eastern Shore Was carefully placed at his sweet-heart's own door And then without waiting to see any more, His dear classmates quite quickly did go. Departed to where they might all see the fun Resulting from all the hard work they had done, And where they would not be compelled much to run If he came all at once to the door. .82
