And after man hath closed its friendly door. And students for to seeken newer strondes, shire's ende, Berne they wende, labor for to fynde, thru this darke world's grynde And specially from the Of Adams Countye to That learning and that That them shall holpen VVhen I had wended on my pilgrimage To Berne High with full devout courage, One day was come to that communitie VVell nigh five and twenty in a companye, Cf sondry folk, by adventure ifalle In felaschipe, and pilgrims were we alle, VVho would in books for four yeres studye Welle, That in the ende the teachers all might telle How many thanne had come out to be Wyse. This was our waye thence as I you devyse: The first yere in that lande had much of woe, And many from our number back did goeg The older folk who'd been there long before, Did cryticise our studye more and more. All thru that tyme our sorrow's oler us swept.. We weren 1-Treshiesu and Sophomores , ill kept' v But from the gloome our triumph did appeare, So that whann finished was last yere, Our place was made amonge the men who were- Wle love the honored name of junior. And in the winter, whan the snowe did falle, Our good knights rallied to the basket-balle. In this and other sports they fought full welleg ln track did they the rest by far excelle. Our delegates are seene in every field, Wlhere one for classe a lance can wield. NVell given-our receptione did full Welle delyght All those who attended on that faire nyghte. The nobilitie were escorted to the door By a 'squire with golde buttons behind and 'fore, XVe move in all societie with ease- Our knights of far renowne. and faire ladies: Wfith many a partye do we lyghten lyf, And so forget our labor and our stryfe. XVe are in sooth a merrye companye. XVe'll have a jolly tyme. whyle here we be. XVe're glad there is a full twelve months ahead Before we needs must earne our dailie bread.
