An Old Song (continued)
“One summers evening, where at my leisure”
(continued from previous page)Those low life coolies, that we call police,
From Corraterriff they came with speed
With anxious viewing and venomous spewing
To prove my ruin & to vent their spleen.But with all their plotting and schemes allotting
Thro, Drumhulligan bottoms I took my way
When I was loading after exploding
They pounded upon me like wolves of prey"Give up your arms, make no alarms"
To seize my darling, it was their aim,
With a voice of thunder, that made me wonder
They cried "Surrender in the Queen's name"(continues on next page)- Collector
