class="verse">Must repudiate the tyrant
Known as man, known as man.
The Alton Road Conductors
They regard as mere seductors,
And they’re going to do without them
If they can, if they can.
These are the Phenomena
That every pretty Domina
Hopes that we shall see
At this Universitee.
HILARION IN CLOVER.
I’M A PEPPERY SORT OF A KING.
FREE AS A TETHERED ASS.
OH! DON’T THE DAY SEEM BLANK AND LONG.
HILARION—And so here we are, in the breast of the citadel. Hallo! what’s this? (Examining some robes left by the female graduates.) Why! Academic robes, robes worn no doubt by some of the undergraduates. Here, you fellows! Put them on. (They do so, and the robes reach to their feet. They look as any well-regulated Alton man looks in anything—extremely fetching. They burst out laughing.)
TRIO.
Hilarion, Cyril, Florian.
HILARION—
I am a maiden coy and graceful,
Stately I, with a face divine,
But with my smiles I’m ever faithful,
True to the men of the Alton Line.
ALL—
Haughty, humble, coy and free,
Little care I what maid may be.
So that a maid is fair to see,
Every maid is the maid for me.
FLORIAN—
I am a maiden sweet and lusty,
Dainty and pleasant am I to see,
Timid and shy, and oh! so trusty.
An Alton man is the man for me.
