"We talked of pipe-clay regulation caps—
Long twenty-fours—short culverins and mortars—
Condemn'd the'Horse Guards'for a set of raps,
And cursed our fate at being in such quarters.
Some smoked, some sighed, and some were heard to snore;
Some wished themselves five fathoms'neat the Solway;
And some did pray—who never prayed before—
That they might get the'route'for Cork or Galway."
