Farewell, poor TraTyT,EN

Y

For oh, th my heart, and filled my eyes with water;
And 7' services were truly great,
such as should be valued by a sporter.
Yes, thou had'st worth, and memory's pen has booked it,
And grieved v
----,-, am I to find that thou hast locked it.
No more thon'it mark the fated Bird aloft,
Nor watch while in my sporting bag I tuck it;
This thou hest done full many a time and oft,
But all is over—thou hest kicked the bucket.
Another dog must show ins what his nose is,
When sporting in my shooting-coat from MOSES.
All. Tray, if thou couldst sec thy master now,
Dressed in the shooting-coat which MOSES sold him,
Thee'dst stare at the improvement, and allow
'Tsvas quite a pleasure even to behold him.
MOSES and SON thou'dst say have every reason
To clalni renewed support throughout the season.
I never saw, I candidly confess,
Such admirable articles for sporting :
nbudreds of sportsmen to obtain such dress,
To MOSES' noted Warehouse are resorting.
Bettor or cheaper coat ne'er honoured Britain,
And that is why this epitaph is written.
