TARPORLEY HUNT MEETING 



VII 



Oh no ! we never mention him, that shot we never 



own, 

 We book'd him in the game book as an " animal 



unknown " ! 

 We know not how the wife and bairns without his 



board subsist. 

 We only know we hit him, and he has not since 



been miss'd. 



1844.

NOW riding safe at anchor, idly floats the " Col- 

 umbine," 

 And the perils of the ocean in November I resign ; 

 With other messmates round me, merry comrades 



every one. 

 To-night I take command, boys, of the gallant ship, 

 the " Swan." 



Chorus 

 Then up, boys ! up for action, with a hearty three 



times three, 

 What tars are half so jolly as the tars of Tarporley .?
