They think to toll the knell of prisoned Gray,
The servile herd who bend to law the knee!
Pooh, Pooh! the slaves will soon be “out of play,”
And leave the game to Davitt and to me!
Vile Saxon scum! a Sheriff held in thrall!
(It moves my soul of flame to noble fury)
Because he uttered what they choose to call
Injurious remarks about a jury.
