And why you wrote such raving verse:—
Of course, it must have been designed
To Ireland’s tyrants curse!
“The clamorous crew” you write about;
The fierce “blood-mongers” you decry;
The men who “stand in shame so high”
These are the landlord-set, no doubt,
Who pity’s plea deny.
The men who “steal and skulk and flee”—
Why, it is plain you mean by these
