Actually quite apropos of CoV. The Harvard band had quite a repertoire,
but the verse usually considered "their song" was the faux-latin "first"
verse to "Ten Thousand Men of Harvard." (The "real" lyrics, quite dull
in comparison, were the fourth.) It goes like this:
Illegitimum non carborundum
Domine salvum fac!
Illegitimum non carborundum
Domine salvum fac!
Gaudeamus igitur!
Veritas non sequitur!
Illegitimum non carborundum
Ipso facto!
If anyone is the SLIGHTEST bit interested, I require VERY LITTLE fine
cognac to be induced to sing every Harvard song I know, including the
infamous THIRD verse to the aforementioned song...
