irgin queen And mistress of the turf ;Most nobly did she win the name As queen of trotting course. Amid the pouring of the sweat And flying of the fur,She never quailed beneath the whip Or fluttered at the spur.* As freely flowed her purple life She mutely bore the pain;Winner of the hard-fought strife, This foal of Duskv Jane. * She had a very cruel master, who lashed and spurred her most shamefullyin her races. 198 OLD-TIME TROTTERS.
