(_A Topical Explanation._)
Your dark blue eyes are doubtless very sweet,
And I could hear without the least surprise
That connoisseurs declare it hard to beat
Your dark blue eyes.
How is it if so much of magic lies
In your two "orbs" I deem them incomplete?
Why with disdain--I'm going to poetise--
Do I your "heavenly windows" ever treat?
The explanation Saturday supplies.
I'm Cambridge. That's why I'm so loth to meet
Your dark blue eyes.
_Note._--"Dark blue." In view of the coming Boat Race this may
be taken as a prophecy, or tip.
