Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 102, June 18, 1892 by Various
page 22 of 41 (53%)
We're thrue to the Crown and the QUEEN:
But Ulster no "pathriot" shall sever,
And Ulster no "Papish" shall school.
Whillaloo! Here's the Union for ever,
And into the Boyne wid Home Rule!
Ri fol didder rol didder rol!

Och! Here's to Dutch WILLIAM the Pious!
And here's to VICTORIA the Good!
If they think we _won't_ foight, let 'em try us!
They mock at an Orangeman's mood,
But once set the Green 'gainst the Yellow,
(Wid no one our coat-tails to pull,)
And I pity the pathriots who bellow
(Like bhoys in a bog) for Home Rule!
Ri fol didder rol didder rol!

Come, all loyal props of the nation,
Come fill up a bumper all round!
Drink success to our great federation;
With Brummy JOE's blessing 'tis crowned.
_He_ says we are heroes, right stingo,
_He_ vows W.G.'s an old fool.
No, we _don't_ want to fight, but, by Jingo,
Whin we _do_--it's all up wid Home Rule!
Ri fol didder rol didder rol!
[_Left "bombinating."_
