Come, venerable musket, come,
And have a song from me ;
For certainly I owe a sum
Of gratitude to thee.
Thou and myself for years have been
Companions of the field,
Where oft thy shooting powers were seen,
And mine alike revealed.
. How often have I lifted up
Thy barrel and thy stock,
While Master Dash, sagacious pup,
Has marked some hen or cock.
And now, once more, respected piece,
Thou'lt act with Dash's snout,
For leaves are scarce, and summer's lease
Is very nearly out.
My shooting coat, from M. and Son,
Is ready for the sport,
Aid such an admirable one
Of Moses have I bought.
As long as thou hast marked in air
The children of the wing,
I've never had the luck to wear
A better sort of thing.
Moses and Son may well be sought
By every sporting Don,
When such prime garments may be bought,
As that which I on.
