THE LATIN VERSION
"IO SELHURST!"
J A Wright
C W Scott

1. Felix ubi nemorum, saltus arridebat,
Schola nostra condita, genio sit praedita,
Tum qui praesidebat, tum qui praesidebat,
Io Selhurst, silva felix,
Io Selhurst, cara nutrix,
Viget, vigeat, vigebit.

2. Cara nutrix, ardui nihil, te iuvante,
Nobis nec molestia ulla sint proposita,
Te auxiliante, te auxiliante.
Io Selhurst, silva felix,
Io Selhurst, cara nutrix,
Viget, vigeat, vigebit.

3. Cum praetextis positis lucta exercemur,
Almae Matri debita quae ab illa habita,
Semper recordemur, semper recordemur.
Io Selhurst, silva felix,
Io Selhurst, cara nutrix,
Viget, vigeat, vigebit.

4. Laus sit senioribus qui et adspexerunt,
Mortem, et qui vulnera, pugnantes pro Patria,
Laeti acceperunt, laeti acceperunt.
Io Selhurst, silva felix,
Io Selhurst, cara nutrix,
Viget, vigeat, vigebit.
