To many a hardy cove I’ve pitched it in.

But on my fistic feats I will not dwell,

What I have done let “Fistiana” tell.

These are my triumphs which I now record,

Tho’ floor’d by Cousens, Bendigo, and Ward;

And even with these I fearlessly declares,

I did my best, and acted on the squares;

And tho’ defeated on the field of fights,

I died true game, and show’d no feather whites.
