"Sic transit gloria mundi,"
"How doth the busy bee,"
"Dum vivimusvivamus,"
I stay mine enemy!
Oh "veni, vidi, vici!"
Oh caputcap-a-pie!
And oh "memento mori"
When I am far from thee!
Hurrah forPeter Parley!
Hurrah for Daniel Boone!
Three cheers, sir, for thegentleman
Who first observed the moon!
Peter, put up thesunshine;
Patti, arrange the stars;
Tell Luna, tea is waiting,
And callyour brother Mars!
Put down the apple, Adam,
And come away with me,
Soshalt thou have a pippin
From off my father's tree!
I climb the "Hill ofScience,"
I "view the landscape o'er;"
Such transcendental prospect,
Ine'er beheld before!
Unto the Legislature
My country bids me go;
I'lltake my india rubbers,
In case the wind should blow!
During myeducation,
It was announced to me
That gravitation, stumbling,
Fellfrom an apple tree!
The earth upon an axis
Was once supposed toturn,
By way of a gymnastic
In honor of the sun!
It was the braveColumbus,
A sailing o'er the tide,
Who notified the nations
Of where Iwould reside!
Mortality is fatal --
Gentility is fine,
Rascality,heroic,
Insolvency, sublime!
Our Fathers being weary,
Laid down onBunker Hill;
And tho' full many a morning,
Yet they are sleeping still,--
The trumpet, sir, shall wake them,
In dreams I see them rise,
Eachwith a solemn musket
A marching to the skies!
A coward will remain,Sir,
Until the fight is done;
But an immortal hero
Will take his hat,and run!
Good bye, Sir, I am going;
My country calleth me;
Allow me,Sir, at parting,
To wipe my weeping e'e.
In token of ourfriendship
Accept this "Bonnie Doon,"
And when the hand that pluckedit
Hath passed beyond the moon,
The memory of my ashes
Will consolationbe;
Then, farewell, Tuscarora,
And farewell, Sir, tothee!
