   (XX)
   Remember it's decreed on high
   That you have only once to die
   And if in freedom's cause you're slain
   Eternal life you will maintain
   So let your valued merit praise
   Like the immortal (?)
   Here turning to the other side
   Says he :From either force or pride
   Shall we this day like sneakers bow?
   The word is Fág a'bealach now
   So prepared we are to do & dar'
   So now let loose your dogs of war.

   But no response to these last words
   Had either come from tongues or words
   It ached much like claps of thunder
   That in its course spread awe & wonder
   And fills all creatures with surprise
   That live beneath the vaulted skies.

   The process-server &n his fry
   Apparently grew pale & shy
   They moved but it was retrograde
   And "Harry Duff" was loudly played.

   The planders of these dauntless men
   Are worthy of a better pen
   Than I can flourish or command
   By mental power or slight of hand

   P.T.O.
