44 IRISH SPORT AND SPORTSMEN. 



Charley Warburton, known as the great welter-weight, 



Never looks for a gap, or unclasps a field gate ; 



While Tynte, the kind owner and lord of Tynte Park, 



Seems as careless and gay as if out for a "lark." 



Say who is the rider of yonder coal-black, 



Who looks as if moulded upon the steed's back. 



As true as I live, I could stake my life on it, 



'Tis his Highness himself, the young Duke of Connaught. 



Chorus — Bravest of men, &c. 



Diana herself might look on with surprise. 



At the feats of the ladies who strive for the prize ; 



Why Reynard's been known to be caught by a blush. 



And gallantly died to present them his brush. 



But Reynard, being Irish, what less could he do, 



With lovely Churchill and fair Beauman in view. 



Other countries may boast and with pride of their pearls, 



But none can compare with our own darling girls. 



Fairest of maids are the maids of Kildare, 

 When their cheeks have been flushed by their own native air. 

 If you'd keep yourself heart-whole I'd have you beware. 

 How you meet the soft glances they give in Kildare.
