    (IV)
    The most cowardly action I ever did witness
    When the New Ross brass band to the barracks did come
    I saw a policeman catch the horse by the bridle
    And dash his rifle right thro' the head of the drum
    (V)
    Our American cousins crossed over the Atlantic to see what sort of laws were in old Granuaile.
    O Lord of Anger! they nearly went frantic
    When they heard that James Somers got ten months in gaol.
    (VI)
    The dark clouds are breaking
    You'll soon bid farewell to your sorrow and woe
    In a few days more you'll hear Gladstone's voice speaking
    Saying "Jimmy, you miser, pack your bundle and go."
