 It would look rather well the race-card on
 * 'Mongst Cherubs and Seraphs and things,

'Angel Harrison's black gelding Pardon,
 * 'Blue halo, white body and wings.'

And if they have racing hereafter,
 * (And who is to say they will not?)

When the cheers and the shouting and laughter
 * Proclaim that the battle grows hot;

As they come down the racecourse a-steering,
 * He'll rush to the front, I believe;

And you'll hear the great multitude cheering
 * For Pardon, the son of Reprieve.
