    (continued from previous page)
    They weighed the balance in their minds
    And meditated on the cause
    Their friendly council we will take
    From Justice we will never flee
    With prudent strength the yoke will break
    For Happy Homes and Altars free.
    When Lawless into Cullen came
    We hailed him with unceasing cheer
    Roused by an ardent generous flame
    Regardless of all panic fear
    We saw those frantic bloodhounds hide
    The speakers heinous Committee
    Then with one voice we loudly cried
    For Happy home and Altars free
    This filthy faithless orange train
    Its badness I cannot describe
    Its badness I cannot describe
    Its deeds are foul with many a stain
    And every vice they all abide
    These brawling murmurs soon must cease
    They are blood-wading to the knee
    We will have freedom love and peace
    With happy homes and Altars free.
