1816.
T...he eyes are dim, the heads are low, The hands are cold that brought us here ; Prescriptive right we soon might show, For we have stood the hundredth year.
Another hundred let us stand, The beauty of your town we'll be. Consent not that, with murd'rous hand, The axe be laid unto the tree.
O ye, who in your hands have now Power to condemn, and power to save, Need ye be told how oft to you In early life we pleasure gave?
Soon as ye were released from school How oft, in troops, our shades below, Have belted button to a bool, To climb our very highest bough !
