TO ARMS, OTAGO.

Provincial haros in yer might, Be ready for the coinin’ tight, They want to rob ye av yer right, liurroo, buys, for Otago. Bob Stont’s preparin’ for the fuss, And Mac has bought a bhimltherbuss, ('lan Tonal’s chief will march will us, liurroo, boys, for Otago. We’ll pitch our tints on Taieri Plain, Sir George will sketch the whole campaign, Let tyrants trimble, for we mane To fight, boys, for Otftgo. Tbo South Dunedin Flats will come Wid stately march and martial hum, And Satan’s self will baite —adhrum, In honor of Otago.

Och tare-nn-ages, bloody wars, I thrimble fortne wounds and scars We’ll offer at the shrine of Mars In honor of Otago.

I think T see the sahres glaimo, I think I see the purple sthrame, I think 1 hear the Super’s name, The watchword of Otago. We’re throdden down by Cinthval knaves, Who’d make us soon a race of slaves, But whin the billst. av battle raves, We’ll die boys for Otago.

We’ll put the inimy to rout, Our ordhers come from Mac and Stout, (Wo don’t know what it’s ad about) liurroo, boys, for Otago. They’d make ua pay an ayqud share Of taxei, an sure that’s not fair, But faix they’d be-her have a care, There’s pOwdher in Otago. We wont bo slaves, we will be free, e’re bint upon a row ye see, Before our blades tbs tyrants lice, liurroo, boys, for Otago. Paddv Murphy, In the Saturday Advertiser.
