   So excuse Prince George, I pray thee excuse
   Give prosecution o'er
   Or perhaps wan day like Ancient Greece
   Some friend might us restore.
   (Wellington speaks)
   Patrick Dear pray hold your tongue
   Be peaceful in your mind
   Here is your only friend
   Who for you will prove kind.
   (St. Patrick speaks)
   To hold my tongue proud Wellington
   Great pain lies in my breast
   The naked truth I will declare
   Such treachery I detest
   Pat like bats brave for to be slaves
   Shall my valiant sons remain
