Thread Name: Bowdoin Ruggers Want Songs
Subject: RE: Bowdoin Ruggers Want Songs
Just sing this old Bowdoin song- it's in Latin so no one will understand it- just say it disparages your opponents sexual prowess and the typical rugger fight is sure to start.

Lyr. Add: ODE
(Air- "Lauriger Horatius")

1.
Caritate, amore
Impleamus corda,
Quoque obliviscente,
Facta injucunda.
Chorus-
Nunc, canamus festive
Fratres et sodales,
Gratulantes mutue,
Laeti et hilares.
2.
Quamdin hic manemus,
Juncti et fideles,
Laude digni erimus,
Nihil metuentes.
3.
Nos fiemus validi,
Mente copereque;
Matri Almae ornati
Multum sua spente
4.
Fratres, gaudium nunquam,
Deserat nos tristes,
Semper habeamus spem
Commodum cernentes.
