‘Forty-fives’ it was named—Mike Quade

In the game

So cheated that Death said: ‘’Tis like

The wind from your sails I’ll take, Mike.’

“What time with a blow from his stick,

To the earth

He struck Mick. Then kippeens[41] took quick

Striking birth;

The Quade boys were there to the fore,

All longing, my dear, for red gore!
