But e-ven yet he does his best;

His vic-tor hand re-tains the prize,

And clasps it to his faith-ful breast.

Laid on his bed, com-pos'd, though sad,

With bro-ken leg and in-jured back,

We find a lit-tle pa-tient lad,

A-las, no long-er "Mon-key Jack!"

With books and toys, what-e'er is best,

His com-rades seek him, one and all,
