From a course in Wage-Law at Lincoln's Inn,

From expecting Lord Cohen to permit Christ in,

From incredible mixtures of Bourbon and gin,

Preserve us O God and Merriman.

From ever provoking a Coach's wrath,

From brazenly solving a problem in math,

From nodding our head to deans on the path

Preserve us O God and Merriman.

From roasting ourselves on the Eliot Grille

From fighting a Son of Father Sill,

From ever paying a Widener Bill,

Preserve us O God and Merriman.

From Cursing our Conant Plan Grade "B",

From the instructor who averages "C" and "D",

From finding a Yale man in the "Big Tree",

Preserve us O God and Merriman.

From research on whether Queen Bess was virgin,

From humming limericks that end "just emergin'",

From more Scheherazade with Richard Burgin,

Preserve us O God and Merriman.

From Candidate's Meetings, IMPORTANT, at seven,

From swimming a Sperryship into Heaven,

From ransacking Newell for a boy called Levin,

Preserve us O God and Merriman.

From the smallest speak in "Dirty Mary's",

From putting Stock in springtime "bare-ies",

From discovering the earthly side to "faeries",

Preserve us O God and Merriman.

From freely admitting the Wolff to the door,

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.
