PARAPHRASE FROM HORACE.

"Carpe diem." - SENECA.

"Go it while you 're young." - SHAKSPERE.

[Horace, and not the Crimson, is responsible for the moral of this Ode. Its publication was withheld until after the Semi-annuals, for fear that it might have a bad influence. It was expected that plank walks would be in the Yard by that time; but alas ! the powers of the University defeat the best-laid schemes. It is too late, however, to alter the verses. - EDS.]

DO you see how the Yard is all covered with snow ?

How the plank walks are hidden from sight ?

The swift-running Charles has forgotten to flow,

With frost he 's in terrible plight.

Then come, let's thaw out, put more coal on the grate,

Send over to Karl's for some beer;

Thaliarchus, old man, let's play cards until late,

And make ourselves comfortable here.

Don't grind, man, but leave all your life to the gods,

Let to-morrow take care of itself;

While a Sophomore loaf like a Turk - what's the odds,

Let Seniors be laid on the shelf.

Whatever day Fortune has given count gain,

Nor bother with oncoming sorrow;

And think it your duty to-night to disdain

That examination to-morrow.

Forbear not to stroll once a day to the Gym.,

And try its machines every sort;

Then stroll adown Main Street with Harry or Tim,

And astonish the plebs of the 'Port.

Call oft on the maiden who loves you the best,

Although she's too bashful to show it;

Think of her, not of marks, boy, and as for the rest,

While you 're young, Thaliarchus, why, go it!

W.
