Rupert Loraine was full of power and vigour,
A man of perfect form and resolute will;
No man more manly ever pulled a trigger,
Or urged his swift steed over wold and hill.
Toil had he borne — it had not bent his figure —
War had he known — his pulse it could not still —
One of the heroes was he who maintain
Old England's banner free from soil or stain.
