Old Mack a hero-took battery of conrse9
All, there you mistake. He only horse.
And stage horse at that: yet there never was flyer
In ali the wide world with record that higher;
Not Of speed, but of deed, and Of that must tell
Aye how noby, how grandly, he struggled and fell
He Of the wheelers and many day
He had trasersed that range and its dangerous way
In the raid or the snow. and the varying sca'oo.
With instinct keen, it was like hnman reason
Ou that il>fated day, with coach loaded down
With passengers bound for mining town.
The six grays slowly crept the top of the range,
Where there burst the vision universe strange;
AMI seemed they gazd they poised the breast
OF = mountainous wave, with foam whitened crest
in the midst of an ocean, wild tossing and grand
In its fury tr.usfxed by infinite hand.
A short halt, brief glimpse then the brake is applied
And they dashng ahead down the steep mountain side
Then anon a chasm coquet'ins with DEATH
Where shrink back with sorpsge Of breath
But the driver sits rigid nor fear doth disclose;
Twas a occurrence such dangers as these.
With his foot the brake, and the lines well in hand
And his doing finely in fact it was grand
But a danger hovered over them ALL
Perhaps twas a jar caused that buolder to fall
From it, Judgment above to the roadway below
Where it struck monx he leaders and frightened them
That they faptiealy tore down the rocky inclne,
But we're dragging the wheeler that hero Of mine.-
Who had thrown himself back with his legs firmly braoed.
With slight help from his who unben they raced.
There's a just ahead, ravne far below,
Where DER the boulders is fosmuy like
lis a moment Of horeor, of darkest despair
And mems faces bIanched and lips moving in prayer.
Though the driver is brave, he tugsins in vain,
The ybeelers them, if saYcf. that is plain.
They dragging Old Mack, but he's bravng shock,
With his shoes all off On the sharp fln,y rock;
Though he had but hoof, he would cling each inch,
For he's Of the metal that would finch.
S,ranng muscle and nerve, mouth and nos,ris widespread
With his great flushing eyes starting out of his head
But 'ts DEATH his foreegs, spreading apart,
Now his breast is split open! the blood see it start!
But he's holding the coach-he is holding the four
Was there er such sight Of mortal before2

With the passengers safe on that perilous brink.
They sprang his and lifted his head,
But that noble old hcro-a'as! he dead.
