The following war-Hke effusion is &C
dier-patriot of Guthrie:
Polish up my rubber saber,
Dig me up my blunderbuss;
I'll forsake my field of labor
And will fight the Spanish cuss.
I'll have none of moderation,
For my spirits sorely tried;
Naught will soothe my perturbation,
But a piece of Spanish hide.
I'm a warrior!
Do you hear me?
Clear the tracki
Don't stop the way!
Those who know me best all fear me,
When start there's hell to pay.
