"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."
