we're all set to riot
Against these dark foes that assail us.
On this strophe the dance had been rearwards; now in the closing antistrophe the committee marched forward, its voice rising strongly over the burst of applause from the spectators:
Our enemy's strong, and he's clever,[ANTISTROPHE 3
And we're fairly stupid. However,
We hope that our Founder'll
Search out the scoundrel
And flunk him forever and ever!
So great was the response to this last supplication that although Taliped reappeared from the Deanery door in time to hear it, and raised his hand for silence, it was some time before he could make himself heard.
"Conservative hysteria," Max grumbled. "Always leads to persecution."
"Now comes the firstepisode," Sear whispered to me. The audience grew quiet.
TALIPED:Come on; there's no use moaning to the Founder.
Let's put our own IQ's to work. It's sounder
and also more reliable.
"I'll say it is," Max said.
