- (continued from previous page)The Sergeant he seized on the kettle and pot.
The tea-pot and tongs and likewise an old pan,
And a quart of fat butter milk in a tin can.
8th verse
Rowe had been placed on the door as a spy,
Terry Byrne and his mule chanced to pass by.
Said Rowe unto Terry in the Queen name I say,
Drive on straight to the barrack put those things in your dray.
9th verse
Said Terry I regard not the name of the Queen,
Besides all the neighbours would owe me a splein.
Such pig-droves and black-bells I will never obey,
I will have it taxted to my children when I am laid in the clay.
