Poet Analysis

First Line: WHERE, WHERE BUT HERE HAVE PRIDE AND TRUTH
Last Line: RESTRAINING RECKLESS MIDDLE-AGE?
Subject(s): YOUTH;
ON HEARING THAT THE STUDENTS OF OUR
NEW UNIVERSITY HAVE JOINED THE
AGITATION AGAINST IMMORTAL LITERATURE

Where, where but here have Pride and Truth,
That long to give themselves for wage,
To shake their wicked sides at youth
Restraining reckless middle-age?
