Jackson, not Vernon, battles for the White One.
True York v. Lancashire are still the foes,
Nor is the issue now at stake a slight one;
But whether Jackson be twice bowled by Mold,
Or twice Peel give young Albert his quietus,
The battle is as friendly as 'tis bold.
Paul, with his eighty-seven, helps defeat us,
But brave Lord Hawke, our Captain, makes his pile,
And there is comfort in the score of Wainwright.
If Sugg and Baker make the Red Rose smile,
