    So enter in Lord Wellington and meet me on the way
    (Enter Lord Wellington)
    Here I am Lord Wellington
    Great Mars' warlike son
    The marshall deeds they shone on me
    They called me Wellington
    My titles great augment my fate.
    though being one Irishman
    Exalted high in dignity
    And you a Corsican.
    Hold! you ambitious tyrant
    Until I will draw near
    And relate to you a word or two
    that will not take a year
    On Britians Isle where fortunes smile
    You done not to advance
    I fought my way by land and sea
    And conquered you in France
