ALEXANDER ROBERTSON
Corporal, 12th York and Lancasters
"We shall drink to them that sleep"
(Campbell)
YES, you will do it, silently of course; For after many a toast and much applause, One is in love with silence, being hoarse, Such more than sorrow is your quiet's cause.
Yes, I can see you at it, in a room Well-lit and warm, high-roofed and soft to the tread, Satiate and briefly mindful of the tomb With its poor victim of Teutonic lead.
Some unknown notability will rise, Ridiculously solemn, glass abrim, And say, "To our dear brethren in the skies,"— Dim are all eyes, all glasses still more dim.
Your pledge of sorrow but a cup to cheer, Your sole remark some witless platitude, Such as, "Although it does not yet appear, To suffer is the sole beatitude.
​"Life has, of course, good moments such as this (A glass of sherry we should never spurn), But where our brethren are, 'tis perfect bliss; Still, we are glad our lot was,—to return."
Yes, I can see you and can see the dead, Keen-eyed at last for Truth, with gentle mirth Intent. And having heard, smiling they said: "Strange are our little comrades of the earth."
A Midnight Reflection in a Hut
THIRTY "heroes" in a hut, So the babblers call them, but Sometimes doubts assail us when We prefer to call them men. For the "heroes" quarrel much, And their language is not such, Always, as to merit praise,— Rather censure's frowning gaze; Sometimes greedy, too, they be; Sometimes idle, let's agree; Short of temper—as of breath, The impartial witness saith; Sometimes cunning, that's the worst Sin, the Serpent's, the accurst! So the critics: they are right In a fashion. Yet at night, ​After "Lights out" and the talk Subsequent, and when but the walk Of the sentry tramping near Breaks the silence and the queer Nasal noises "heroes" snore Just like men other and more— They would be of gentler mood, Seeing them on their couches rude, Wearied after toil, asleep, (Are their slumbers dreamless, deep? Or do dark forebodings mar Their repose who silent are?) The white faces, if the moon Chanced to shine, as in a swoon Faces are. And were they wise They would say of each that lies, Heedless both of praise and blame, "Faults he has but still he came, Duty summoning, all men cherish Left and but, perchance, to perish." Shamefaced they would pass them by In the moonlight as they lie, All on tiptoe they would flit Doorwards, gently open it, Glance back once and all unknown As they entered they'd be gone.
To an Old Lady seen at a Guest-house for Soldiers
QUIET thou didst stand at thine appointed place, There was no press to purchase—younger grace Attracts the youth of valour. Thou didst not know, Like the old, kindly Marthas, to and fro To haste. Yet one could say, "In thine I prize The strength of calm that held in Mary's eyes." And when they came, thy gracious smile so wrought They knew that they were given, not that they bought. Thou didst not tempt to vauntings and pretence Was dumb before thy perfect woman's sense. Blest who have seen, for they shall ever see The radiance of thy benignity.

Lieut., 12th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment (B.E.F.)
To the Rats
O LOATHSOME rodent with your endless squeaking, You hurry to and fro and give no peace, Above the noise of Hun projectiles' shrieking The sound of scratching footfalls never cease.
There is a thing which I could never pen, The horror with which I regard your race, For how can I describe my feelings when I wake and find you sitting on my face.
Oh, how shall I portray the depths I plumb When, stretched upon this bed, my body numb, I see you, agile, helter-skelter fly.
Oh, Ignominy! while I sleepless lie, You play your foolish games with eager zest And sport and gambol freely on my chest.
Lines written between 1 and 2.30 a.m. in a German dug-out
OH horrible! How can the pen describe The ghastliness of that which meets the eye, The devastation and the frightfulness? It seems as if some superhuman force, Vast and malevolent, had passed this way, Tormented by the Furies till its hate Became insensate and demoniac: Then, prompted by its innate cruelty, Had ravaged where it went and had destroyed All that it met, and made the countryside A scene of horror without parallel. Vast craters pit the ground, no blade of grass Is left to shew what was a fertile plain; Now is all barren, rugged, hideous, The nightmare landscape of a fevered brain. And scattered over all the stricken field, See lie the shattered bodies of the slain In all the ghastly posturings of death, Their attitudes suggesting all their pain; While over all, despite the blazing sun, There hangs the shadow of a lurking death, And in the cannon's never-ceasing roar One hears the knell of many friends and foes: But yet, for ever boastful of our worth, ​We vaunt ourselves and puff our chests with pride, Saying that man was ne'er so civilized, No age so cultured. How the gods must smile At such a paradox, at such a lie! With frightful ingenuity, perhaps, We have amassed a quantity of means Whereby to sow destruction and to kill Each other; yet the thought cannot be crushed That, to be civilized means something more. It is so trivial, for here are we, Who are but particles upon a world, Itself a minute atom lost in space, At war with one another, filled with hate And lust to kill and primal savag'ry. What is the use, when all is said and done, If we have hurried to eternity The souls of many million fellow-men? Our lives are but a moment in all time, A fleeting instant, quickly come and gone; Why fret ourselves in order to curtail The short existences of other men? And yet, in order to achieve this end We suffer untold hardships, spend our wealth, Endure the indescribable, and strain Our ev'ry sinew, muscle, energy, And name us patriots!

# Songs and Lyrics (Lehrer)/That's Mathematics

THAT'S MATHEMATICS
words and music by Tom Lehrer
Counting sheep --- when you're trying to sleep, Being fair --- when there's something to share, Being neat --- when you're folding a sheet, That's mathematics! When a ball --- bounces off of a wall, When you cook --- from a recipe book, When you know --- how much money you owe, That's mathematics!
How much gold Can you hold In an elephant's ear? When it's noon On the moon, Then what time is it here? If you could count for a year, Would you get to infinity Or somewhere in that vicinity?
When you choose --- how much postage to use, When you know --- what's the chance it will snow, When you bet --- and you end up in debt, Oh, try as you may, You just can't get away From mathematics! Tap your feet --- keeping time to the beat Of a song --- while you're singing along, Harmonize --- with the rest of the guys, Yes, try as you may, You just can't get away From mathematics!
Andrew Wiles Gently smiles, Does his thing, and voilà! Q.E.D., We agree, And we all shout "hurrah!" As he confirms what Fermat Jotted down in that margin (Which could have used some enlargin').
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This song was originally written to and intended to be sung to the tune of "That's Entertainment" (lyrics by Howard Dietz, music by Arthur Schwartz, from the movie The Bandwagon). It was written in 1985 as a potential theme song for a Children's Television Workshop series, which was eventually called "Square One TV". In 1993 it was used as part of a celebration, presented by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute of Berkeley, California, in honor of Andrew Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. The optional verse about Wiles was added for that occasion. However, the owners of the copyright to "That's Entertainment" refused to allow the music to be used, so I wrote an original tune. My words may of course be sung to the tune of "That's Entertainment".

TAKE ME FOR A WALK (written for the aborted revision of Park) Trio - Sara (daughter), Austin (father), Elizabeth (mother] -- [or quartet, including Jamie (son)] lyrics by Tom Lehrer (no music written)
Take me for a walk That's all I ask of you A simple walk, perhaps a talk, Exchanging points of view An occasional quiet little stroll Rejuvenates the soul Not too energetic [alt: Nothing too athletic] Merely peripatetic Millionaires can't measure What a simple pleasure -- means. They just don't have a glimmer Riding in their limou -- sines.
If they got out the lead And tried to walk instead They'd gladly throw their calendars away And say: Just take me for a walk with you To - Day.

Take me for a walk Take a walk with me We'll traipse along, And sing a song, As jaunty as can be.

# Songs and Lyrics (Lehrer)/Thank Him for Me

Thank Him for Me
words by Tom Lehrer
Once upon a timeless past Someone with a faceless name Opened a door for you, Opened much more for you.
Maybe that was miles ago, But he is with you just the same. He helped you to be What you are to me Today.
So now it's me, and now it's you, and now it's us But it didn't, No, it didn't have to be, And so when you see him, If you ever see him, Thank him for me.
Miracles don't just appear fully grown. They start off as wonders That have to be tended And nourished and mended Until they are splendid Enough to go out on their own.
And somewhere in the timeless past Is someone to be grateful to, Like yesterday's vine That made today's wine.
Maybe he has someone now Who's happy that a part of you Is somehow still his, Wherever he is Today.
And now it's me, and now it's you, and now it's us. And it didn't, No, it didn't have to be, And so when you see him, If you ever see him, Thank him for me.
(There have been two settings for these lyrics, one by TL and one by Michael Gould.)

# Songs and Lyrics (Lehrer)/The Folk Song Army

THE FOLK SONG ARMY
words and music by Tom Lehrer
We are the folk song army. Every one of us cares. We all hate poverty, war, and injustice, Unlike the rest of you squares.
There are innocuous folk songs, yeah, But we regard 'em with scorn. The folks who sing 'em have no social conscience, Why, they don't even care if Jimmy Crack Corn.
If you feel dissatisfaction, Strum your frustrations away. Some people may prefer action, But give me a folk song any old day.
The tune don't have to be clever, And it don't matter if you put a coupla extra syllables into a line. It sounds more ethnic if it ain't good English, And it don't even gotta rhyme... (Excuse me: rhyne!)
Remember the war against Franco? That's the kind where each of us belongs. Though he may have won all the battles, We had all the good songs!
So join in the folk song army! Guitars are the weapons we bring To the fight against poverty, war, and injustice. Ready --- Aim --- Sing!

United States Supreme Court
184 U.S. 258
Studebaker v. Perry
Argued: January 17, 20, 1902. --- Decided: February 24, 1902
On November 9, 1899, in the circuit court of the United States for the northern distract of Illinois, John Perry, as receiver of the National Bank of Kansas City, brought an action against Clement Studebaker, to recover an assessment made by the Comptroller of the Currency on stock held by the defendant in said bank.
The declaration set forth the incorporation of the National Bank of Kansas City; the ownership by the defendant of 189 shares of its capital stock of the par value of $100 each; the insolvency of the bank; an assessment by the Comptroller of the Currency on February 11, 1896, of 16 per cent on the stock; the payment by the defendant of said assessment; a finding by the Comptroller of the Currency on February 25, 1899, that the first assessment was insufficient, and the necessity of an additional assessment of 7 per cent; the levy of said second assessment; the direction by the Comptroller to the receiver to collect it, and the refusal of the defendant to pay.
A demurrer was filed raising the question of the sufficiency in law of the declaration. The demurrer was overruled, and the defendant electing to stand by his demurrer, judgment was rendered for the amount of second assessment upon the stock owned by the defendant. A writ of error was allowed, and the cause was taken to the circuit court of appeals of the seventh circuit, where the judgment of the circuit court was affirmed. 43 C. C. A. 69, 102 Fed. 947. The case was then brought to this court by a writ of error duly allowed.
Mr. Hugh C. Ward for plaintiff in error.
Messrs. George W. Wall, Francis F. Oldham, Walter W. Rass, and M. J. Kirkman for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice Shiras delivered the opinion of the court:

United States Supreme Court
263 U.S. 508
Southern Power Company v. North Carolina Public Service Company
Argued: Nov. 28, 1923. --- Decided: Jan 7, 1924
This writ must be dismissed. The petition therefor stated that the cause involved a grave question of vital importance to the public, and alleged as special reason for its re-examination that the decree would deprive petitioner of property without due process of law and of freedom to contract, contrary to the federal Constitution. The opinion below is reported in 282 Fed. 837.
The argument developed that the controverted question was whether the evidence sufficed to establish actual dedication of petitioner's property to public use-primarily a question of fact. That is not the ground upon which we granted the petition, and, if sufficiently developed, would not have moved us thereto.
Heretofore we have pointed out the necessity for clear, definite, and complete disclosures concerning the controversy when applying for certiorari. Furness, withy & Co. v. Yang-Tsze Insurance Association, 242 U.S. 430, 37 Sup. Ct. 141, 61 L. Ed. 409; Layne & Bowler Corporation v. Western Well Works, 261 U.S. 387, 43 Sup. Ct. 422, 67 L. Ed. 712. The opinion first cited states that during the 1915 term 154 petitions were presented, and suggests the probability of a largely increased number. During the last term (1922) petitions were filed in 420 causes.
Obviously it is impossible for us critically to examine so many records before ruling upon applications, and we must rely very largely upon preliminary papers. Unless the requirements specified in Furness, Withy & Co. v. Yang-Tsze Insurance Association are observed, we cannot hope properly to dispose of an increasing docket.
Dismissed.
