Let us now praise famous men Men of little showing For their work continueth, And their work continueth, Greater than their knowing. Western wind and open surge Tore us from our mothers; Flung us on a naked shore (Twelve bleak houses by the shore! Seven summers by the shore!) Mid two hundred brothers. There we met with famous men Set in office oer us. And they beat on us with rods Faithfully with many rods Daily beat us on with rods For the love they bore us! Out of Egypt unto Troy Over Himalaya Far and sure our bands have gone HyBrasil or Babylon, Islands of the Southern Run, And cities of Cathaia! And we all praise famous men Ancients of the College; For they taught us common sense- Tried to teach us common sense Truth and Gods Own Common Sense Which is more than knowledge! Each degree of Latitude Strung about Creation Seeth one (or more) of us, (Of one muster all of us Of one master all of us) Keen in his vocation. This we learned from famous men Knowing not its uses When they showed in daily work Man must finish off his work Right or wrong, his daily work And without excuses. Servants of the staff and chain, Mine and fuse and grapnel Some before the face of Kings, Stand before the face of Kings; Bearing gifts to divers Kings Gifts of Case and Shrapnel. This we learned from famous men Teaching in our borders. Who declared it was best, Safest, easiest and best Expeditious, wise and best To obey your orders. Some beneath the further stars Bear the greater burden. Set to serve the lands they rule, (Save he serve no man may rule) Serve and love the lands they rule; Seeking praise nor guerdon. This we learned from famous men Knowing not we learned it. Only, as the years went by Lonely, as the years went by Far from help as years went by Plainer we discerned it. Wherefore praise we famous men From whose bays we borrow They that put aside Today All the joys of their Today And with toil of their Today Bought for us Tomorrow! Bless and praise we famous men Men of little showing! For their work continueth And their work continueth Broad and deep continueth Great beyond their knowing!
