RANDOM VERSES
BY
E. W. BOWLING,
RECTOR OF HOUGHTON CONQUEST, AND
LATE FELLOW OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE.
Si dulce est desipere in loco,
ignosce nostro, blande lector, ioco.

CAMBRIDGE: W. METCALFE & SON, TRINITY STREET.
1885.
PREFACE.
A very few of the following pieces appeared in "Punch," during the
Consulship of Plancus. The rest have been written by me during the
past twenty-five years, under the signature of "Arculus," for "The
Eagle," the Magazine of St. John's College, Cambridge. I hope their
reappearance will be welcome to a few of my old College friends.
The general reader will probably think that some apology is due to him
from me for publishing verses of so crude and trivial a character.
I can only say that the smallest of bows should sometimes be unstrung,
and that if my little arrows are flimsy and light they will, I trust,
wound no one.
E. W. BOWLING.
