Adown Heenanus’ Roman nose
Freely the tell-tale claret flows,
While stern Sayerius’ forehead shows
That in the interchange of blows
Heenanus’ aim was good!
Again each iron mauley swung,
And loud the counter-hitting rung,
Till breathless all and wild with blows,
Fiercely they grappled, for a close;
A moment in close hug they swing
