Pheugh! How old memory rushes

Over me!—Pulled indeed!

Though LEO seldom gushes,

And these be of LEO's breed,

The blood of an Old Blue flushes

At the Young Blues' power and speed!

Coach them, or patronise them?

Nay, I've no call for that.

To cheer them, not to advise them,

I'm on this path,—that's pat!
