Victoria College Students' Carnival. Thursday and Friday, June 24th and 25th, 1909

Victoria

Victoria.

Air: "Maryland."
Beneath thy portals see him stand!
Victoria! Victoria!
Embodiment of thy command,
Victoria! Victoria!
His lofty brow by breezes fanned—
A clasp of keys is in his hand—
Immortal Gods! He's grand! He's grand!!
Victoria! Victoria!

No image he, nor carved of stone,
Victoria! Victoria!
A stirring sound! It is the 'phone!
Victoria! Victoria!
He lives! He strides towards his own—
Full well he knows that fearsome tone!
'Tis his! 'Tis his! 'Tis his alone!
Victoria! Victoria!

Wallace and Gibson's Overcoat are the Cheapest in the City. Quality for Quality. The "Kash," Willis Street.

Illustrious Brook should all things know!
Victoria! Victoria!
Resplendent Brook will tell thee so
Victoria! Victoria!
Almighty Brook doth wind, and lo!
Thy glorious clocks correctly go,
With rythmic march nor fast, nor slow,
Victoria! Victoria!

He comes! He comes! We bow the head!
Victoria! Victoria!
Hast heard the sound of falling lead?
Victoria! Victoria!
For louder far and still more dread,
His ponderous march would wake the dead—
Thy walls re-echo with his tread,
Victoria! Victoria!

—Antony.
