At the annual dinner of the New York Harvard Club, which took place at Delmonico's on the evening of the 21st, President Weld read some verses which "were intended," he explained, "to illustrate the plenitude of rhymes for the word Yale, while the fact was well known that there were none rhyming with Harvard."
They dined and wined, and thanked the Lord
For all good things the Carver'd
Dealt out - then swore, with one accord,
There was no rhyme for Harvard.
When Alma Mater was the toast,
They hurrahed and they brava'd;
And still they made the foolish boast
There was no rhyme for Harvard.
They pelted Yale with cranks and quips,
They punned and they palavered;
And then declared, with perjured lips,
There was no rhyme for Harvard.
