   V
   And the friendships and love he e'er cherished for me
   Were but types of his soul and its proud legacy
   Of boundless affection of gladness and truth
   For the friends of his bosom the friends of his youth.
   VI
   His heart was a Kingdom an empire his soul
   With the hand to encourage and the aid to console.
   His regard for the poor like an ocean undried
   Remained boundless for aye till the hour that he died.
   VII
   The shield of the poor man, his tenants' best friend
   For ever indulgent he indulged to the end.
   No rack rents, no drivings, no turn of the screw,
   No distraining of cattle for rents over due.
   VIII
   His esteem for our band will enshrine him for aye
   In our hearts' utmost core till our life's latest day.
   Oh his was the voice that encouraged us on
   Till our q of fame was right heartily won.
   IX
   No more in our band room our lost friend we'll greet
   No more will he hail us with joy in the street
   No more never more when we're lilting the song
   Will our dear Master Thomas applaud us along.
   X
   No more in the field will he proudly career
