The General Court no longer feast beneath the classic shades, they have given place to their fair daughters. Nor is it upon the "pecks of wheat" and "mellow apples" that the daughters feast. The "sober and God-fearing fashion" has passed into a round of jollity that shames the sober bachelor graduates who wander about aimlessly seeking they know not what, and territies papa and mamma in their watch-towers of observation with its desperate flirtation...
