    VII
    This side of hell a Parallel cannot
    be found at all
    For that wild pimp and devils imp.
    The Sergeant of Grousehall
    Thank God the day is not far away
    when Home Rule will be seen.
    When Parnell at home will dwell,
    and shine in College green
    And Balfours pack will get the sack
    and Jimmy from Grousehall.
