ROGER CASEMENT
 
 I SAY that Roger Casement
 Did what he had to do.
 He died upon the gallows,
 But that is nothing new.
 
 Afraid they might be beaten
 Before the bench of Time,
 They turned a trick by forgery
 And blackened his good name.
 
 A perjurer stood ready
 To prove their forgery true;
 They gave it out to all the world,
 And that is something new;
 
 For Spring Rice had to whisper it,
 Being their Ambassador,
 And then the speakers got it
 And writers by the score.
 
 Come Tom and Dick, come all the troop
 That cried it far and wide,
 Come from the forger and his desk,
 Desert the perjurer's side;
 
 Come speak your bit in public
 That some amends be made
 To this most gallant gentleman
 That is in quicklime laid.
