Summary "Sagittulae, Random Verses" by Edward Woodley Bowling is a collection of light poetry and verse written in the late 19th century. The poems reflect a playful yet insightful approach to the experiences and experiences of university life, particularly at Cambridge, capturing themes of academia, love, and social commentary. The work draws on traditional poetic forms, infused with a sense of humor and nostalgia for the academic milieu. The opening of this collection introduces the author's preface, where he shares his motivation for re-publishing a selection of his verses, many of which originally appeared in "Punch" and "The Eagle" magazine at St. John's College, Cambridge. The poems are presented in a whimsical manner, often focusing on university life, student experiences, the dynamics of relationships, and humorous accounts of academia. The opening poem, "The Battle of the Pons Triumph Trojanorum," already showcases the blend of historical and lighthearted commentary as it addresses the contentious discussions about women's education in the university, thus setting the stage for a series of engaging reflections throughout the volume.
