To which I will merely add that F S Key was a graduate of Saint John's
College in Annapolis Maryland, and the tune "To Anacreon in Heavan" is
not a drinking song in the rowdy sense, but was adopted by a rather
intellectual set.  The Anacreon of the title was a Greek poet, the works
are now known to be lost, but at the time a group of late hellenic texts
were thought to be authentic, and were studied by writers such as Goethe.

One might better think of the tune as being emblematic of a classicist...
