Passage 1: Casey at the Bat
by Ernest Lawrence Thayer
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day,
The score stood four to two with but one inning more to play.
And then when Cooney died at first, and Barrows did the same,
A sickly silence fell upon the patrons of the game.
(5)A straggling few got up to go in deep despair. The rest
Clung to that hope which springs eternal in the human breast,
They thought if only Casey could but get a whack at that-
We'd put up even money now with Casey at the bat
But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also Jimmy Blake,
(10)And the former was a lulu and the latter was a cake;
So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat,
For there seemed but little chance of Casey's getting to the bat.
But Flynn let drive a single, to the wonderment of all,
And Blake, the much despised, tore the cover off the ball;
