DEATH AND THE DOCTOR.
'Twixt
Death and Schomberg, t'other day,
A contest did arise;
Death swore his prize he'd bear away;
The Doctor, Death defies.
A contest did arise;
Death swore his prize he'd bear away;
The Doctor, Death defies.
Enrag'd to hear his pow'r defy'd,
Death drew his keenest dart;
But wond'ring saw it glance aside,
And miss the vital part.
Death drew his keenest dart;
But wond'ring saw it glance aside,
And miss the vital part.
