Their pipes they light, they loiter there;

Then up, and urging still the Guide,

On, and after Mosby ride.

This Guide in frowzy coat of brown,

And beard of ancient growth and mould,

Bestrode a bony steed and strong,

As suited well with bulk he bore—

A wheezy man with depth of hold

Who jouncing went. A staff he swung—

A wight whom Mosby’s wasp had stung.
