They’re off! is the cry; the shouting is loud;
And Pease’s good grey leads the galloping crowd,
A head like a lady’s, an eye like a deer—
A sweet combination of courage and fear,
From the start to the finish it looks like “a case”
For the man on the grey in the Senators’ Race.
Away for the brook, and away for the hill,
The Lights and the Heavies are galloping still,
And still we can see in the acres of grass,
