This Silver Cup, brave man, receive—
A tribute to your merit due—
One sigh of deep regret we heave,
And kindly say—adieu, adieu!
And may the boon we now bestow
Be hallowed oft with generous wine;
And may the cup of kindness flow
To gallant deeds of "auld lang syne."
Ye, who aspire to fistic fame,
And wish a glorious race to run,
