Coll. Regal.
(Air: Gaudeamus igitur.)
So let us rejoice
While we are young:
After a pleasant youth,
After a troublesome old age
The earth will have us.
Long live the Academy!
Long live the professors!
Long live the graduates!
Long live every member!
May they always flourish!
May all King's College
That is listening flourish!
Long live Oscar Browning!
Long live George Prothero!
And Arthur Tilley!
May the Provost flourish,
Maximus Augustus!
May the bursars flourish,
The various Austen Leighs,
Frederick Justus!
Keep the dean's soul calm,
Free from difficulties:
May Eton flourish!
May the college flourish!
Long live the inhabitants!
Long live J. K. Stephen,
The humble poet!
Long live Monty James,
Long live A, B, C, D, E,
And the whole alphabet!
