First stanza: 'A's for Allcroft, on chestnut | With frontlet of blue. | He keeps pheasants at Stokesay | And good foxes too.' Last two stanzas: 'Z is for the Zealot; | Takes smooth with the rough, | No distance too great | For he ne'er cries "enough". | We'll now say "Farewell" | To these lovers of Sport; | And drink their good health | In a bumper of Port.' The following reference dates the poem to before 1906, the year of the retirement of the Master, Sir William Curtis: 'First 'tis for Curtis, | Our Master of Hounds | He keeps both his temper | And pack within bounds.'.
