Tennyson certainly did not mean to exclude even a young Vagabond when he wrote his famous lines reminiscent of a certain curve in the Charles River Parkway, the bright lights of Revere Beach, and soft moons seen from the rumble seats of innumerable roadsters. Having recklessly indulged in his first ice cream cone of the year and permitted himself to be driven around the Wellesley campus the sage frequenter of musty lecture rooms has experienced an emancipation of his "physical amativeness" which will enable him to arise promptly with the twitterings of his alarm clock, breast the tempestuous waves...

It insists upon novelty by presenting a horse that Charlestons, by leading onto the stage a bull with a ring in his soft nose, by allowing trapeze acrobats to fly about overhead (as in the film, Variety).
