From the jaws of the monster;
For pity's sake rescue us twice.

These separate dances Dr. Sear calledstrophes andanti-strophes, and he excused the committee's bad grammar on the grounds that probably no more than one member was from the Language and Literature Department. There were two other pairs of stanzas:

Cadmus half down the drain: [STROPHE 2

What they do when they woo, Sir,
We don't even do with our wives.

All classes of woes seem to ail us;[STROPHE 3
For pity's sake pass us or fail us!
