I inquired of a man whom I met at the station
If he’d please tell me where I’d get the Nation;
He inquired of another and then told me call
To the house of one Mr. O’Shea at the Mall.
Then I went to my inn and proceeded to read,
While the others, to get some refreshments agreed.
While reading, I fell into some contemplation
When Duffy addressed “Constituents of the Nation,”
And then, through what agency I cannot prove,
Each nerve of my body did instantly move,
