Col. Gerard Noel Money, C.B.
Hadst thou not died
I would not ask to ride
By Death's pale side;
But since thou art a corse,
I ride by his white horse
And wish Life's black battalions woe betide!
I would not ask to ride
By Death's pale side;
But since thou art a corse,
I ride by his white horse
And wish Life's black battalions woe betide!
Thou in no case
Wert servant of disgrace,
But ever sett'st thy face
With that much merrier part
Of honour and good heart:
Therefore with thee and Death I choose to pace.
Wert servant of disgrace,
But ever sett'st thy face
With that much merrier part
Of honour and good heart:
Therefore with thee and Death I choose to pace.
