My fourth and fifth, poor JOHN and JIM,

What made the sight of one so dim?

What made the other lack a limb?

That Foot-ball!

Then FRANK, my sixth, who cannot touch

The ground unaided by a crutch,

Alas! of what had he too much?

That Foot-ball!

The seventh ends the mournful line,

Poor STEPHEN with his fractured spine.
