Nor reached Sayerius’ watchful head.
At length each left is sudden flung,
We heard the ponderous thud,
And from each tongue the news was rung,
Sayerius hath “first blood!”
Adown Heenanus’ Roman nose
Freely the tell-tale claret flows,
While stern Sayerius’ forehead shows
That in the interchange of blows
Heenanus’ aim was good!
