I shall be spun.  There is a voice within

   Which tells me plainly I am all undone;

For though I toil not, neither do I spin,

      I shall be spun.

April approaches.  I have not begun

   Schwegler or Mackintosh, nor will begin

Those lucid works till April 21.

So my degree I do not hope to win,

   For not by ways like mine degrees are won;

And though, to please my uncle, I go in,

      I shall be spun.
