BALLADE OF THE MAY TERM
O the birds that are glad to sing
After the meal on the early worm!
O I am happier now than a king!
Sing heigh-ho for the glad May Term!
ENVOI
Prince, or pauper, be what you may,
Business is quiet, but stocks are firm ;
Never believe in the “ bears” in May!
Sing heigh-ho for the glad May Term!
