    (continued from previous page)
    Too long has a stranger killed Tara's gold throne
    But we'll soon have a king and a crown of our own.
    And its down etc.
    III
    Oh! brave Captain Rock he knows very well,
    To make tyrants know their Lord God from Tom Bell.
    And the parson and plunderer venegence will fell
    For by jove, he wont spare either bullet or steel
    And its down etc.
    IIII
    Be his creed what it may, let what will be his hue.
    Whether, Papist or Billeman, Quaker or Jew:
    Each land-jobbing rascal and proctor must know
    The bold Captain Rock is the cock that must crow
    And its down etc
