Here is a gun to handle	B

A single flickering candle	B

APRIL Rowing	C
The Pope of Rome he could not win	N
From pleasant meats and pleasant sin	N
These who replying not submit	O
Unto the curses of the pit	O
Which that stern coach oh greater shame	A
Flings forth by number not by name	A
Can Triple Crown or Jesuit's oath	P
Do what one wrathful trainer doth	Q

Thank God who made the British Isles	H

From century to century	E
Will gambol round my shrine	T

Read here the moral roundly writ	O
For him who into battle goes	H
Each soul that hitting hard or hit	O

Half blind with shame half choked with dirt	F
Man cannot tell but Allah knows	H
How much the other side was hurt	F

Over the ice she flies	H
Perfect and poised and fair	Z
Stars in my true love's eyes	H

Stars I beheld in her eyes	H
Now do I see in my head	A2
	-
Now we must come away	K
That are you out of pocket	R
'Sorry to spoil your play	K
But somebody says we must pay	K
And the candle's down to the socket	R
Its horrible tallowy socket	R
