"Now's the time and now's the hour,"—BURNS.

"Seven's the main."—CROCKFORD.

Pity the sorrows of a class of men,

Who, though they bow to fashion and frivolity,

No fancied claims or woes fictitious pen,

But wrongs ell-wide, and of a lasting quality.

Oppress'd and discontented with our lot,

Amongst the clamorous we take our station;

A host of Ribbon Men—yet is there not

One piece of Irish in our agitation.
