ITistory, we pledge allegiance unto you, Aud praise ,vour deeds of old,
The old world laid before the new, With the 1.-nowlcdge that you hold.
Rut why shonld we, who live today,
Learn of what you know,
For one whose thoughts do bach·.ward sway, WiU never forward go.
The world does bring-and thus does take, Our life is as the flower,

So if yom works we do not 1."'low, Wear not an angry look,
As we ha,·e been performing deeds, To go within your books!
