When a mere boy, by two good men assail’d,

Beneath his prowess Brown and Watson quail’d;

And after combat resolute and tough,

Lenney and Cooper, sorrowing, cried, “Enough!”

Thrice Peter Warren tried to do the trick,

But found his master in triumphant Dick;

In a turn-up, from momentary heat,

Ned Savage was made savage by defeat;

And bouncing Barney Aaron, Hebrew stout,

Look’d all abroad when Richard sarv’d him out;
