The Battle of Beer.
(At a meeting of the United Kingdom Alliance, Sir Wilfred Lawson said the publicans were like a great army armed with bottles.)
The publican on his raid has gone.
All over the land you’ll find him;
A bottle of Bass he has girded on,
And a barrel is slung behind him.
“Oh, drink divine,” said Boniface,
“What though teetotallers make thee
A thing of scorn and of black disgrace,
I never will forsake thee!”
