From a fractured ankle at half past four,
From confusing the word Bull with Conquistador,
Preserve us O God and Merriman.
From risque plays and naughty "lays",
From Friar Bacons and Friar Bungays,
From all untutored and wicked ways,
Preserve us O God and Merriman.
Hic jacet Johannes Harvardies,
Vir honestus, status triplex mendaces,
But truliter requiescat--in paces,
Preserve us O God and Merriman. David Simboli '40.
