VI.—Final Chorus—Chorus only.

Now Carpe Diem Horace wrote
Not Ward but Horace Flaccus,
And every ancient bard of note,
Wrote songs in praise of Bacchus.

So gather rosebuds while ye may
Bob Herrick doth commend,
And Omar says "Ah make the most
Of what ye yet may spend."

Don't shut youth up in factories,
A sacrifice to Mammon;
Don't murder it in victories
To end all war—that's gammon.

'Tis youth that makes the world go round,
Don't cabin crib confine it,
Don't crib and cabin—give it play :
In youth—there lies the day.
