To count each gasp, to cheer each spurt,

And fill with pride his pate!

He goes on Sunday to the church;

And sits among his pals:

Receiving homage from each youth,

And winking at the gals!

Makes weak attempts to “mash” ’em, and

Criticises their “fal-lals!”

He sleeps—dreams—hears his trainer’s voice

Telling him when to “stick it on!”
