Bow-wow-wow, &c.
Home Rule’s at most a moiety of a measure far more national,
The uppermost in every mind that’s sensible and rational
A measure to eradicate the vice of inebriety,
By interdicting liquors to all classes of Society.
Bow-wow-wow, &c.
Needs must Home Rule for Ireland be domestic legislation,
Laid down on Father Mathew’s lines to pacify the nation;
’Twould Irishmen from whiskey wean, on thin drink strictly diet ’em,
And let them have no more potheen! which possibly might quiet ’em.
