II

From morn till night we'll booze a ken, [10]

And we'll pass the bingo round; [11]

At dusk we'll make our lucky, and then, [12]

With our nags so fresh, and our merry men,

We'll scour the lonely ground.

And if the swell resist our "Stand!"

We'll squib without a joke; [13]

For I'm snigger'd if we will be trepanned [14]

By the blarneying jaw of a knowing hand,

And thus be lagged to a foreign land,

Or die by an artichoke. [15]
