- Now here I add a postscript—the most important part,
A sympathetic chord 'twill touch in every Peterite heart.
It was just fifty years ago to York from Oxford came
A poet, scholar, gentleman, whose deeds we do acclaim.
In School he's worked as only those can work whose heart is there,
The father, son, and grandson, too, he's coaxed to love Shakespeare.
He cheers the boat, and Rugby too, and once a year at Cricket,
In spite of three score years and twelve, he nips across the wicket.
Long may he climb the lofty Alps, march with the O.T.C.,
So from our hearts we'll celebrate our George Yeld's Jubilee! (en)
