To hev a well-broke precedunt;

Fer any office, small or gret,

I couldn’t ax with no face,

Without I’d ben, thru dry an’ wet,

Th’ unrizzest kind o’ doughface.

I du believe wutever trash

’Ill keep the people in blindness,

Thet we the Mexicuns can thrash

Right inter brotherly kindness;

Thet bomb-shells, grape, an’ powder, ’n’ ball
