Troth! and profanity—if he’d the call.
Arrah, Vernon machree! what were Bottom or Puck to you?
Falstaff himself was a harmless ould buck to you;
Look how you gather the Radical ruck to you;
Whisha, bad luck to you, Vernon avick!
Still, for all, you’re the prince of buffoons,
Gad! you’ve the dash of a troop of dragoons,
Firing the flagging ones,
Bolstering the bragging ones,
Leathering the lagging ones on wid the stick.
