No, no, 'tis but a human cloud, MdGuffie's portly form, And limping Jitas from the north, -Came out to see them play, And the "Golden Lion" •b"azed in awe Upon that great array. And George Antagonistic Sills And 'John Secluded Steet, Were there on time to see the game, They never miss .a treat. Red was the color Seaforth chose, While blue the "drones" all wore, But bluer still were McMichael's men. 'When that fierce .fight was o'er. Now Carmine Jackson does his best Te .put the "drones" in place, And Crawford gets the Sea -forth men Alt ready for the race, Constable 'Bob, with his blackthorn stick, His duty does not shirk, While jocular Rose, with •his bold black eye, .Assists him in his work.
