| Jordan the song says is a road I thought | G |
| It was a river that is hard to travel | H |
| And Dublin if you'd find it must be sought | G |
| Along a highway with more rocks than gravel | H |
| In difficulty neither can compete | I |
| With that wherein you navigate your feet | I |

| As once George Gorham said of Pixley so | J |
| I say of you 'The prison yawns before you | K |
| The turnkey stalks behind ' Now will you go | J |

| To change the metaphor you seem to be | L |
| Between Judge Wallace and the deep deep sea | L |
