When Champlain with his faithful band	A
Came o'er the stormy wave	B
To dwell within this lonely land	A
Their hearts were blithe as brave	B
And Winter by their mirth beguiled	C
Forgot his sterner mood	D
As by the prattling of a child	C
A churl may be subdued	D
	-
Among the company there came	E
A dozen youths of rank	F
Who in their eager search for fame	E
From no adventure shrank	F
But with the lightness of their race	G
That hardship laughs to scorn	H
Pursued the pleasures of the chase	G
'Till night from early morn	H
	-
And soon their leader full of mirth	I
And politic withal	J
Well knowing that no spot on earth	I
Could hold them long in thrall	J
Unless into their company	K
Its duties and its sport	L
Were introduced the pageantry	K
And etiquette of court	L
	-
Enrolled them in a titled band	A
L'Ordre de Bon Temps named	M
First knighthood's grade for which this land	A
Of Canada is famed	M
Each one in turn Grand Master was	N
At close of day released	O
His duty to maintain the laws	P
And furnish forth a feast	O
	-
Filled with a pardonable pride	Q
In nobles wont to dwell	J
Each with his predecessor vied	Q
In bounty to excel	J
And thus it was the festive board	R
With beaver otter deer	S
And fish and fowl was richly stored	R
Throughout the changing year	S
	-
At mid day for our sires of old	T
Dined when the sun was high	U
To where the cloth was spread behold	T
These merry youths draw nigh	U
Each bearing on a massy tray	V
Some dainty for the feast	O
While the Grand Master leads the way	V
Festivity's high priest	O
	-
Then seated round the banquet board	R
Afar from friends and home	W
They drank from goblets freely poured	R
To happier days to come	X
And once again in story shone	Y
The sun that erst in France	Z
Was wont in days long past and gone	A2
Amid the vines to dance	Z
	-
Still later when the sun had set	B2
And round the fire they drew	C2
To sing or tell a tale ere yet	B2
Too old the evening grew	C2
He who had ruled them for the day	V
His sceptre did resign	D2
And drink to his successor's sway	V
A brimming cup of wine	D2
