- REMORSE FOR INTEMPERATE SPEECH
-
- I RANTED to the knave and fool,
- But outgrew that school,
- Would transform the part,
- Fit audience found, but cannot rule
- My fanatic heart.
- I sought my betters: though in each
- Fine manners, liberal speech,
- Turn hatred into sport,
- Nothing said or done can reach
- My fanatic heart,
- Out of Ireland have we come.
- Great hatred, little room,
- Maimed us at the start.
- I carry from my mother's womb
- A fanatic heart.
