THE MOUNTAINEER’S FATHER WILLIAM 55
“In the days of my youth (Young men w// be young men),
I was peaked on my skill at Peak-et!
And the muscular strength (which I didn’t use then)
Comes in for a subsequent day!”
“You are old, Father William,” the young man said,
“Yet your tongue is as trusty as ever;
You consistently lie in a manner that I
Consider infernally clever!”
“T have answered three questions, and that is enough,
Come on, if you’re coming at all!
Pi hold you—this Buckingham’s capital stuff—
I'll hold—but I’m hanged if I’ll haul!”
