The Cornstalk ladles out his Fours / Or Fivers, as the slog may be. / Oh, how the ring of watchers roars / When Lyons's set and Taking Tea! / But when the hitter shows his paces / I like to note the varied faces --
Shrewsbury's with grief in it, / George Giffen's with relief in it, / When Lyons puts his beef in it / And planks her to the railings!
