Well after they'd squabbled awhile if the glove should be three ounce or six ounce, The time-keeper rang the big bell and they shook hands and went at each other, Young Dares was slicker than grease and quick as a flash of chain lightening, Entelles as big as a barn, with a blow that would back up a freight train But his wind was so poor that he puffed, he was taken quite bad with the asthma. For live rounds it was warm I declare! and many a good punch re- sounded 4 l Fine foot-work by Dares was done, but in ducking Entellus sur- passed him. Each landed some blows that were strong, you could hear their jaws crackle beneath them, When Entellus saw a chance as he thought to end the iight quick with a knock-out Then he drew up his two hundred pounds and let Hy at Dare's jaw from the shoulder Dare side-stepped and let it go past if he hadn't he'd never stopped going As it was, 'twas Entellus that went and went all in a heap in the corner His seconds jumped into the ring to help the defeated Entellus But he needed their help not a bit, and was up ere they'd counted six seconds. With both hands tlying like flails he went after the now smiling Dares . That smile was short lived you can guess for Entellus drove a right swing upon it. ' ' And Dare got a most fearful punch where the boys get a cramp from green apples, Well, the rights and lefts came so fast, and poor Dare was so rat- tled between 'em That he fled around the ring like a hare and Entellus kept hitting him harder I 'Till at length the police stopped the iight as now it was getting most brutal. And they carried poor Dares away with his limbs laid out on a stretcher Entellus was given the iight on points they said he had won it, So he killed the bull for the Gods and waltzed off with the palm on his fore-head.

nate- ate ranslation from Virgil. Book ll, Lines 363 to 430. Then upspoke the smooth referee, a dude they called pious Aensasz Now which one of you youths has the nerve to put up your Ssts with the mitts on The purse is a peach, don't forget it with a slice to both winner and loser, The long end a bull that is fat, and has just come in from the stock yards, While the lad that gets thrashed, gets some gloves to practice and do better next time. Without waiting for how-do-you-do, or pleasant day this to go fishing, Bob Fitzdares jumped over the ropes and pulled oif his sweater and bath robe, The only one in the crowd who had stood for ten rounds before Paris, . And had defeated Bates, a pug, near- the spot in a. nice little grave-yard, Where Hector turned up his toes and gazed at the roots of the daisies. Well Dare had the swell-head quite large and was mashed on his shape twas a. good one, So he danced around the ring like a colt and took a. fall out of the ether, While the atmosphere went to the floor as he drove a left hook on its jugler. The match-maker searches in vain the whole bunch is scared stiff Who thinks that he's got a big chinch and the beef will be his without fighting, So he grabs Mr. Bull by the horns and gives out his opinion Oh, Aeneas, whose mother they say boards up at the hotel Olym- pus, ' If no one dares toe the scratch and give me his head for a target, How long must I stand here and wait, and what is the use of such waiting? Just give me that meat-market stock and the crowd backed him up as he asked it, Entellus sat in a box with his manager, Old Man Acestes He had come there to challenge the lad though his training was somewhat neglected, So he just got a move on his form and threw his gloves full at young2Dares -9g...
