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.LONDON:LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO.,PATERNOSTER ROW.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 writtenby me during the past twenty-five years, under the signature of "Arculus," for "The Eagle," the Magazine of St. John'sCollege, 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 andtrivial a character.I can only say that the smallest of bows should sometimes be unstrung, and that if my little arrows are flimsy and lightthey will, I trust, wound no one.E.
