EPIGRAPH: I care not a fig.
For Tory or Wig.
But sit in a bowl and kick round me.

EPIGRAPH: 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 'neath the Solway;
And some did pray -- who never prayed before --
That they might get the 'route' for Cork of Galway.
