But, blur-an-ounthers, boyt, Those eqjert wor but toys Compared to those led by our martial Tory: Faix, many a Maori chief ThcKurnu brought to grief — Oh, he's the boy to laid us on to glory, Wid many a wild hooraah, He often thrashed his Pa (Unjewtiful of him to bait his daddy) — An' many a time he bait A beautiful rethrait ; ' JLj't often said— "Don't spake of those things, Paddy. I jist recall those soenet, . . In the midst o' dead marines, Surrounded by the port and claret gory ; The Anglo-Saxon sthraint - Gett bilin' in me vains, An* I long to laid you all to death or glory." Who talks o' Rooshian scares P We can muzzle all the bears, If tarthars should come here upon the fotsiek, Our militaiy toff Will make- em Shouvel-off, He'll put a nateVeoflM-ier on aitch Kotsiok ; OnForbury's glorious plain (A sham fight that brought sham-pain) Were gathered proud Clan Stewart an' Clan TRory, 7 To bock the mm o* Wales (In the charge on Watton't ales), Sure the Kurnil watched the fight for death Or glory, Paddy Mtophy.
