Dick and I us tried two valls apiece,

The blind man got his share.

Bevoor the play was o’er half way,

’Tes true upon my word,

There came a set o’ press-gang chaps

Each armed wi’ stick and sword.

Dick Simmins swore a dreadful oath

I didn’t like to hear,

But when King ca’d blind man a fule,

That—darn’t—I couldn’t bear.
