SPECULA GALTONIA THE SIX HUNDRED All the term, all the term, All the term onward, All in the Valley of Galt Worked the six hundred. Forward the G. C. I. Now to your tasks they cry, At them with mouth and eye, Rushed the six hundred. Onward the G. C. I. Was there a boy would sigh? Not though each would decry. That he had blundered. Theirs not to ask the way Theirs but to do and say g As into the mass of books, Rushed the six hundred. Masters to right of them, Masters to left of them Masters in front of them, Bellowed and grumbled. POME There was a Welch-man in our Ward And he was wondrous wise And if he doesn't Groh much His brains exceed his size. Said Roelofson to Alice I'll Betty'll head the race, Stormed at with word and howl, Rehearsed they without a growl, Though their's was not the fault, In the Grammar School of Galt, Worked the six hundred. Shone all their brightness there, As straight uprose their 'hair Working their sums with care, And no one blundered. Plunged in the Master's ire, Till flushed his face like fire, All of them trembled. Beaten with strap and cane, Because they had blundered, Then they go out, but not, Not the six hundred.
