"We fought by contract, not by choice,

Ay, and the spoils are not our party's;

The Tories may be beat, but we know

This is not Asquith's, it is Redmond's beano"?

Or did you doubt if all was right

With Erin when you heard O'Brien

Foreboding doom by second sight

And roaring like a wounded lion,

And saw what venomed hate convulsed her

Apart from any little tiff with Ulster?
