“When Gladstone gets his Home Rule Bill,”
Says Saunderson to Waring,
“Then you and I and Ballykill
Will show our martial daring;
Without delay, the very day
That down such gage he pitches,
We’ll fill our flasks from jars and casks,
And march to line the ditches.
With skill and might, and valor bright,
We’ll set the world a-staring.”
