TO THE MEMORY

OF A FAMOUS DEAR DOG, DIED AUG. 1sT, 1856
THESE LINES ARE ADDRESSED.
No more again, when gently beams the morn,
Wilt thou be sunmon'd by the mellow horn,
To chase the bounding deer;
No more in wildwoods, on the dubious trail,
win behold thee, scent the ba my gale
Or raise the listning ear.
The wood no more will echo to the sound
That lured go oft the hunter to his hound
In brighter days of yore;
His unused gun will rust upon the rack,
The tni deer again will wander back,
To leave his haunts no more
Poor dog still true, cen In the hour Of death
pid'St thou thus come to spend thy latest breath,
Near by my fever'd bed.
Tut thrc's deep, never ending sleep,
Fis mine to linger, suffer and to weep,
And look beyond and dread
Those aged limbs are motionless and still.
So ever ready to obey my WILL
While yet you lingerd here;
You've reached life's rugged journey S end.
And since in thee Eve lost trusy friend,
I'll not restrain the tear.
II is no treaehrous tear such ns is often she'd
"hen hetnah friends are Numbered with the dead,
Whose names we soen forget;
But one uprising from the heart
Impelled by nature not by art,
IN emblem of regret,
Tls true thou vert dog 80 called so mark by nam
but why shoad not g'r virtues lay claim,
To those who love the good
The poor dogs faith is stronger, truer far.
Fer those they. love,
Than fick1 human bear
Their master and their God.
