What cause withholds you. then, to mourn for

Your hearts to muttny and rage,
| should the Juniors wrong;

l.Aye, beg q hair of her. for memory:
And graduating, bequeath it a rich legacy
Unto their successors
Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you
To su SP a storm of tears.

Who would rufae up our spirits, and make
| The very school-hOuse bell
Clang in duleful memory.
