SONG OF HUBBARDTON RAID
35
Of this awful and wicked tragedy;
To show to all future generations,
To all generations coming after this,
The troubles and trials of medical learning,
The difficulty in getting medical knowledge,
In this ancient seat of learning,
In this once famous Castleton Medical College.
We came to feast on Dr. Sanford's oysters,
Pick the meats from the bivalves,
Peppered as the jest goes round;
We came to sip the doctor's coffee;
Coffee—not his pills, pukes and powders—
His coffee, flavored with sugar and cream—
Sugar from the cane, cream from the Jerseys;
We came to eat his cakes and cookies,
We came to share his happiness;
And may we long remember the time
We have so pleasantly spent together
At this rural wigwam in Castleton,
