Excerpt from Mephistopheles: A Profanation We 're a gladsome band of Teuton youth, All absorbed in the search for truth, 'neath Herr Faustus' fostering care. Pedagogue he beyond compare. Knowing all that 's worth the knowing, Seeds of knowledge constantly sowing, Fruits of his work we are always showing, Whether it be Latin, mathematics, Greek or rowing.
