Dedicated to the God-Given Country of Australia

and the wonderful people therein, who, in times past, welcomed Zephyrinus with open arms.

When the chips are down, and the going gets rough,

as long as the Aussies are with you, you'll be OK.

“CARMEN VAGABUNDUM”

(WALTZING MATILDA).

(T.W.Melluish)

[To be sung to the tune of "Waltzing Matilda"]

Tendit in fusis amnis erro lacubus

grato sub tegmine myrteti,

cecinitque tuens dum fervet igne caccabus

"quis comes ambiclitella mihi?"

Chorus:

Ambiclitella, ambiclitella,

tu comes ambiclitella mihi

cecinitque tuens

dum fervet igne caccabus

"tu comes ambiclitella mihi"

Venit ovicula - vult sorbitiunculam,

corripit erro, exsultans vi,

et in peram ut condit, canit cantiunculam:

"tu comes ambiclitella mihi?

Chorus:

Ambiclitella, ambiclitella,

tu comes ambiclitella mihi

et in peram ut condit,

canit cantiunculam:

"tu comes ambiclitella mihi"

Venit colonus, equitans agricola;

hunc comitantur tres viri.

"cuius in pera latet haec ovicula?"

tu comes ambiclitella mihi!"

Chorus:

Ambiclitella, ambiclitella,

tu comes ambiclitella mihi

"cuius in pera

latet haec ovicula?"

"tu comes ambiclitella mihi!"

Praeceps sed erro ruit in voraginem,

se boat vivum nolle capi.

lacubusque canentem audias imaginem:

"tu comes ambiclitella mihi"

Chorus:

Ambiclitella, ambiclitella,

quis comes ambiclitella mihi?

lacubusque canentem

audias imaginem:

"quis comes ambiclitella mihi?"

THE END.
