oeturHlHB from us DedL,
gaunt and awful canine wolf
Upon his steps did meet.
He faced that wolfish dogike thing
Alone at break Of day
Armed with a club and his brave heart.
He scared that beast away
Our second hero, just at dusk
Near to quiet farm
Met great wolf beside the way,
Waiting to do him harm
He seized club and dashed his horse
With all his hero might
And all the papers now declare
He is Gal LsRd'S Knight
The third, the hero whose brave deed
Reflects on us its ray
Looked from his window in the night,
And saw Wolf, hey say.
His heart beat fast but not with fear,
His Martial Spirit rose,
AS when in battle he had stood
To face unnumbered foes.
His dear ones must be saved
Aud so, he threw the window high
Stuck out his head and with a frown
He met that lupus eye.
No word he spake bnt stood and gazed
Upon that awful beast.
1t was enough; the hungry wolf
Went off without his feast
Now would say to all who read
Follow these liant knights
BE brave and fearless everywhere
Ready to run or fight.
Remember though that tupUsss
Appear in sleeps array,
And often prove to be but dogs
Seen in the light Of day.
