They go at their old tricks with energy anew

To see how dastardly they can act in the crimes they do.

In your hatcheries of crime, the bunch you have to feed

Seems to be increasing with a gradual, steady speed.

The time may come when the gang in the walls,

May outnumber us when at their leader’s calls,

They might break out with a united band,

Overpower us, and devastate the land.

So that whatever you do, make your crimes few;

And those you do define, stand firmly to.
