The Rifle And The Hound In Ceylon(Fiscle Part-3), Sir Samuel White Baker [most inspirational books .txt] 📗

When A Sudden Rush In The Jungle Brings The Rifle On Full Cock; And The

Heavy Guns Will Become Useless Mementoes Of Past Days,  Like The Dusty

Helmets Of Yore,  Hanging Up In An Old Hall. The Belt And The

Hunting-Knife Will Alike Share The Fate Of The Good Rifle,  And The

Blade,  Now So Keen,  Will Blunt From Sheer Neglect. The Slips,  Which Have

Held The Necks Of Dogs Of Such Staunch Natures,  Will Hang Neglected From

The Wall; And All These Souvenirs Of Wild Sports,  Contrasted With The

Puny Implements Of The English Chase,  Will Awaken Once More The Longing

Desire,  For The 'Rifle And Hound In Ceylon'.
