TARPORLEY SONG 



And since that joy is incomplete which Beauty 



shuns to share, 

 Or maid or bride, if skill'd to ride, we fondly 



welcome there ; 

 Where woodland hills our music fills and echo swells 



the chorus. 

 Or when we fly with a scent breast high, and a 



galloping fox before us. 



Chorus. 

 1868. 



Tarporley Song 

 1870 



RECALLING the days of old Bluecap and 

 Barry, 

 Of Bedford and Gloster, George Heron and Sir 



Harry, 

 A bumper to-night the QuEesitum shall carry. 



Which nobody can deny. 



II 



Tho' his rivals by Meynell on mutton were fed. 

 When the race o'er the Beacon by Bluecap was led, 

 A hundred good yards was the winner ahead. 



Which nobody can deny.
