   A song composed by Jack Young, Clarina.

   When Great Men Meet.

   Mr. Chamberlain sat with his hand on his brow,
   "Are you satisfied, sir", he asked, with a bow,
   You're paying a big debt with a mere ten per cent.
   Has the stiff neck of yours at last full bent?
   Are you willing at last to say we are quits?.
   Do you still think the Irish and English misfit;
   Are you glad that the feud that has lasted through years.
   Has at last been healed over smiles and not tears?
   As a sportsman, I'll lay you a very small bet.
   That you heart is now thumping, "Forgive and forget?".
   Still Chamberlain sat with his hand on his brow.
   His eyes looked across as he merely said, "Now".
   The long fellow stirred and a smile slowly rose.
   And ran up his face to trip over his nose.
   A nestful of wrinkles surrounded each eye.
   The dents down his cheeks were as rivers run dry.
   When he parted his lips to say his word.
   The soft purring accent of Munster was heard:-
   "We've agreed on three points, there yet is the fourth.
   No peace can be lasting while still in the North.
   Our brothers and sisters our kith and our kin.
   Are forced to stay out while we are within.
