Do you fancy that conduct like this will content us?
Oh, let no folks say of you “Non est Inwentus;”
Come forward, if e’er as a man you have felt,
For Bendigo dares you to strive for the belt.
Presume not brave fellows henceforward to taunt,
For though of my prowess I’ve no wish to vaunt,
An out-and-out good one I fac’d in big Caunt,
Who in stature and muscle match’d owld John of Gaunt.
In capital style you exhibit, I’m told,
As statues of worthies wot figur’d of old;
