And rcnd the cir with joyful sougs
Let garlands crown the band victorious.

Who cares for elorys golden bubble.
We rather laugh, and smoke. aud eat
Then, when our hearts are full of fun
Well sing 10 thee Psi Epsilon
Long live Psi Epsilon P-i Upsilonl
And then swells out the chorus, repeated again
and again
Then when our welded life = begun,
Our wives shall sing Pei Epsilon
Nor is this al.
For when our little ores come on,
Wen brand them all Psi Epsilon"
