Beloved Peeler! friend and guide 
And guard of many a midnight reeler, 
None worthier, though the world is wide, 
Beloved Peeler. 
 
Thou from before the swift four-wheeler 
Didst pluck me, and didst thrust aside 
A strongly built provision-dealer 
 
Who menaced me with blows, and cried 
'Come on! Come on!' O Paian, Healer, 
Then but for thee I must have died, 
Beloved Peeler!
