Excerpt from Cambridge in the Long Vacation: Poetically Described<br><br>O for a. Muse! A. Muse, like melting wax, That's free from toll and each oppressive tax, To sing of Snobs at term's termination, When Gownsmen leave for the Long Vacation.1~ Forgive, O Snobs, forgive the scribbling elf, Who scribbles thus to please you - not himself; And if that scribbling, when the scribbling's done, Delights but you, his own sole end is won.

Vivid green; When Granta's streams in sofi meanders roll, And chapel bells have ceased their wonted toll.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
