  1. (continued from previous page)
    Now, Three Colonels in three distant ages born
    Scotland, England, Ireland did adorn
    The first in majesty of thought surpassed
    The next in grandeur and in both the last
    The force of nature could no further go
    And to beard the first she shaved the latter two.
