Thomas's pupils, I cannot help grieving,
To think it should ever be said,
That we, who so oft steal girls' hearts whilst they're living,
Should steal them as well when they're dead.
We're admitted in confidence, and with reliance
The friends on our honour depend;
We have given the pledge, then disgrace not the _science_,
By stealing the heart from a friend.
E.C.

Sir Isaac Newton was, it is well known, extremely fond of employing his
leisure hours in fishing. Being one day asked by a fellow-collegian how it
happened that so vast a genius could stoop to a pursuit so trifling at the
best, replied, "How is it possible that you should be surprised at my being
_a lover of the angle?_"
HEBES.
