In his large and sinewy hand;

For he just has won the mile “cham,”

To the music of the band!

His hair is gingery, coarse, and long;

His muscles none can span,

His brow is wet with honest sweat—

He’s “put in” all he can;

He ain’t much to look at in the face,

But he’ll ride ’gainst any man!

(In the village!)
