AD LYDIAM.

"There are twenty cases of measles in the College, and one in the Annex." - Advocate.

PRETTY maid, of Annex fame,

How did you get the measles?

Was it in the Fine Arts room

Among the busts and easels?

Was it peradventure in

The hall of German eight,

Or in Chemistry perhaps,

Or from a tete a tete?

Or have you a worshipper -

Some Junior, let me say -

Who caught them from some friend of his

And gave them both away?

I know not, pretty Annex maid,

But if you have a lover,

For his sake and your own, I hope

That you may soon recover.
