14 The Log-Cock 
As few know him, few will miss him, 
Yet the few will mourn his going, 
For among Chocorua's tenants, 
Oldest seems he of its vassals, 
From some former age surviving ; 
Left to guard the ancient hemlocks. 
Left to wave his flaming signal, 
Left to shriek his vengeful warning. 
Left to be the last to perish 
In the conquest of the forest.
