.: THE STALWART RABBIT-CATCHER.*↩⚓✪

• • Deftly he sets his rabbit-nets;⚓✪
  • Hear what blows, as he drives each stake!⚓✪
  • Stalwart and strong,—’tis a warrior’s form:⚓✪
  • Wall and shield for his Prince he’d make.⚓✪
• • Deftly he sets his rabbit-nets,⚓✪
  • Midway there where the most tracks be.⚓✪
  • Stalwart and strong,—’tis a warrior’s form:⚓✪
  • Right-hand man for his Prince were he.⚓✪
• • Deftly he sets his rabbit-nets;⚓✪
  • Right in the heart of the wildwood spread.⚓✪
  • Stalwart and strong,—’tis a warrior’s form:⚓✪
  • Such were a Prince’s heart and head!
