Nos habit humus
The gnomen of the sundial points straight at the door of a Cambridge college.
Gaudeamus igitur
Juvenes dum sumus.
Post iucundam iuventutem
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus. Students' Drinking Song - early 18th century
Let us rejoice, therefore,
While we are young.
After a pleasant youth
After a troubling old age
The earth will have us.
Which is, of course, true!
