    The gallant soldiers
    On one side there would be children called the Irish men, on the other side the children would be cakked the English men. The Irish men would say "take your glass and go your way we are the rover we are the men of ninty eight for we are the gallany soldiers". The English men would say "we are hardy British men, we are the gallant soldiers". Then the two sides would fight.
