   With me they lived in quiet content
   Both young and old agree.
   I never pressed them for the rents
   as they all right well could see.

   But nevertheless some are gone
   Far from there native home
   From the cruel band of Tyranny.
   In Exile they must roam.

   Some are in British Dungeons.
   Some fighting boldly still.
   With faith in the almighty.
   To gain them rights again.

   For He. Will yet deliver them.
   From this cursed tyrant Throe.
   and bring them back the man again
   Who kept them from woe.
