Said Paul Leroy to Barrow, / ‘Though the breach is steep and narrow, / If we only gain the summit / Then it's odds we hold the fort. / I have ten and you have twenty, / And the thirty should be plenty, / With Henderson and Henty / And McDermott in support.'
Said Barrow to Leroy, / ‘It's a solid job, my boy, / For they've flanked it, and they've banked it, / And they've bored it with a mine. / But it's only fifty paces / Ere we look them in the faces; / And the men are in their places, / With their toes upon the line.'
