Explore "The Scarlet Gown: THE BANISHED BEJANT FROM THE UNPUBLISHED REMAINS OF EDGAR ALLAN POE" by Robert Fuller Murray on Textopian.
Two old St. Andrews men, after a separation of nearly thirty years, meet / by chance at a wayside inn. They interchange experiences; and at length / one of them, who is an admirer of Mr. Swinburne's _Poems and Ballads_, / speaks as follows:
If you were now a bejant, / And I a first year man, / We'd grind and grub together / In every kind of weather, / When Winter's snows were regent, / Or when the Spring began; / If you were now a bejant, / And I a first year man.
