- (continued from previous page)IV
Now we have Twameley + Camel both offspring of Cromwell
And other fierce tyrants that were attached to the crew
They had yeomen their cousins who stood to their colours both loyal and true
And many a stranger not yet out of danger until that time came round that we could pay them their due.
V
Our country was so infected by those damable proctors
They tyranised our Church + our priests in old times
It was then pressed the poor, took the pig from the door
Until we got a cure for their wicked crimes
VI
Now we've Twamleys + Fagans + Tooles of Kiltegan
And all those brave heroes who fought in old times
If they'll arise from their slumbers + make up our numbers
We'd put those tithe tyrant from committing crime
VII
Now we have 9 verses in it for those who its intended
And the tenth we'll throw out for the trace of my song
Before the next seizure that they may wind their "aysure"
And I hope in good Providence that it may not be long.
