TRANSCRIPT

'11 jaunty boys were we, in black and white array,
Determined fellows to do, or die, in this the great affray.
Holly and George sashayed around
On right, now here, now there,
While Angus lithe and Billy bold
On left around did tear.
In centre, sturdy warhorse our Rolling did the act,
While back of him in bold array,
Staid Cain, Clark, Doyle, with tact.
Still further back we gazed on two
Our Sam and Neddy frisky, and last, not least,
Between the poles our Charles stopped what was risky.
'Tis needless quite, to eulogize the way the boys sustained
The honour of our country town and victory still retained.'
