Ah, Time his annual inches adds.
We cannot buckle on the pads
In Sheffield Park!
Yet genuine pleasure still 'twill yield
To sit and watch, with noses peeled,
Coningham smite and Gregory field.
How's that, Sir! Hark!
Thanks to Grace, Shrewsbury, and Gunn,
Lockwood and Briggs—what glorious fun!—
The first big match we've neatly won
