"ULSTER" TO LORD SALISBURY.
(By T. D. Sullitan, M.P.)
My lord, we hope yonr heart is glad, We've done oar best to make it so ; And what a pleasant time we've bad ; 'Tis only right to let you know. We've taken every tip w« got From Churchill and from Chamberlain ; We've let the Papists have it hot, And we shall do the same again. In Harland's yards the pport began ; We rushed the rebels out pell-mell ; We stoned the rascals, boy and man ; We clubbed and kicked them wben they fell. Of course, as we were ten to one, It was not very hard to do — We wished you could have seen the run, As you had given tte view halloo ! But there is news more cheering still, The best you've heard for many a day — Our Orange girls from every mill Have chased the Popish girls away. They beat them of! with thumps and thwacks, They drove tbem down from floor and stair, They tore the clothes from off their backe, They pulled out handfuls of their hair. The grandest sight of all was when Down through the town our heroes dashed, And missiles, flung by loyal men, Through Papists' doors and windows crashed. And if we sacked, and fired, or wrecked A Home Rule public-house or two, What else could friends or foes expect From Orangemen bo brave and true ? With all respect, my lord, we think You would havt liked to see our boys, While swilling down the plundered drink, Indulge their wild but simple joys ; And hear them, as they staggered home Triumphant from each merry scene, Curse Gladstone and the Pope of Borne, And strive to sing " God save the Queen I" Well, if Borne Papist beads we broke, Of yon no mortal can complain ; When you and your dear nephew spoke, 'Twas in an ''academic" strain. When next you wish to start the ball, And make the nuta and rivets fly, You will not need to speak at all, But simply " wink the other eye." — London Daily Chronicle.
