since, sworn moss-troopers, you and
have lived beneath each summer sky
so heartily and well,
And little cared we all the while
HOW fast those years were flying
And little marked how youths bright SMILE
Iaat did their flight SO well beguile,
from of the world was dying
Worthy of thine old fashioned race,
Well hast thou borne thy part,
And, spite the gathering years, we trace
Few wrinkles on thy manly face,
And none upon thy heart
In sooth, old Time has hardly cast
A shadow on thy track,
though, as lifes summer day flies past
The harvest moon is rising fast
Above US, Cousin Jack.
The woodcock in the tangled brake
Marks we'll thy whistles note;
The deer that BY the wood -fring'd lake
moment halts his thirst to slake
For thee looks sharply OUT
The wild duck, as lie scuds along,
Seeth thine eye of black
And cries with shrill, despairing tone:
Don't shoot, old boy, Pun coming down,
know you, Cousin Jack" !"
Thou should'st have lived In that old day,
os Long famed 10 song md eors,
or baron bold and lady gay,
OF tournament, of feast and fray,
Love, chvalry and glory
When faces were Of hearts the token,
And hearts were true, like thine,
When manly thoughts were boldly spoken,
An healths were drunk and heads were broken.
O'er sparkling Rhenish wine.
Those bluff and hearty times are gone
From off the changeful earth:
Their monuments have crumbed down,
And the shorn virtues, then unknown,
And now of passing worth.
But in the few and rare like thee
Left to this modern day,
We sometimes yet fain to see
That frank, old-flshioned chivalry
Has not all passed away
When DER the woods another fall
Its lingering charm has thrown,
My gun will hang upon the wall
My horses learn another's call,

But still may thou, aye kindly known

Till many year has come and gone
