  2. The Reply to the Heckler

    Share Share Post
    The following is at least a portion of the song known as "The Reply To The Hackler"
    It was made by the same author as "The Hackler from Grousehall" and the words put in the mouth of the Sergeant.
    Each loyal man, if such there can, be found about Grousehall.
    Join with me, in sympathy, and pity my downfall.
    I am belied, because I tried, to enforce the law
    To keep the "pase", about the place, be drunken vags and all.
    This cursed Grousehall, was my downfall,
    In it I had been long.
