- (continued from previous page)The weather it was rather rough and and he was feeling queer
When Mallon and the police came to meet him on the pier
IV
But ["can't" crossed out] calmly slept the patriot for he was killed with work
haranguing of the multitude in Limerick and in Cork
When Mallon and the police came and rang the front door bell
Disturbing him of his slumbers in bold Morrison's Hotel
V
Then up and spoke bold Morrison "Get up your "Sowl" and run."
(And bright shall shine in history's page the Name of Morrison)
"There's Mallon waiting at the door with fifty men and more
Get up your "sowl" put on your clothes and got out by the kitchen door
VI
But proudly flashed the patriot's eye as he sternly answered "no"!
"Twill never be said that Parnell turned his back on the foe."
Parnell abu! for liberty! Tis all the same said he'
For Mallon he locked the kitchen door and taken away the key.
