    (continued from previous page)
    It's time I am a noble steel they
    call me "Pounce Away"
    It's time I won each race I run
    until that I came here
    But I greatly fear the Fairy Queen
    will stop my bold career
    The Fairy Queen being standing near
    and overheard the jest
    Turning her head to Hogshaw those very
    words confessed
    We'll make them yield here on the field
    before the thousand men
    and show them plain that 'tis all in vain
    to challenge us again
    The crimson flag was hoist [?] boys
    the colours they were red
    the judges were appointed and the signal
    it was gave
    Mr. Nun he had some fun when
    his courser run away
    and lick from Bally Realy he
    played nobly on that day
