His scorn of their vengeance one moment was lost;

His bosom might bleed, but his cheek should be dhry,

For undaunted he lived, and undaunted he'd die.

Well, as soon as a few weeks was over and gone,

The terrible day iv the thrial kem on,

There was sich a crowd there was scarce room to stand,

An' sodgers on guard, an' dhragoons sword-in-hand;

An' the court-house so full that the people were bothered,

An' attorneys an' criers on the point iv bein' smothered;

An' counsellors almost gev over for dead,
