Oh! Try Some Worthier, Better Game.
Oh, try some worthier, better game,
Coercion’s knell is tolled,
And force would fan the slumbering flame
That burnt so fierce of old;
And Home Rule’s but a jangling tune,
A signal on the breeze
For Orange hounds to bay the moon—
Oh! pray try none of these.
But when some plan that’s simpler far
