A thumb to every nose!
And forth three Peelers rushing,
Attempt to storm the Pass;
Truncheons are thick, but fists are quick,
And down they go to grass!
Fitz-Wiggins floor’d fierce Freestone,
Tom Noddy levell’d Hobbs,
And cheerful Merrypebbles
Black’d both the eyes of Dobbs;
And the aggravated townsmen
