Читать книгу Tommy’s Honour: The Extraordinary Story of Golf’s Founding Father and Son - Kevin Cook - Страница 4

Beneath the sod poor Tommy’s laid,

Now bunkered fast for good and all;

A better golfer never played

A further or a surer ball.

A triple laurel round his brow,

The light of triumph in his eye;

He stands before us even now

As in the hour of victory.

Thrice belted knight of peerless skill,

Again we see him head the fray;

And memory loves to reckon still

The feats of Tommy in his day.

—from ‘Elegy on Tom Morris, Jr’

Chambers’ Edinburgh Journal, 1876
