O'Doherty sings his translation.

Drink and drown your politics!
Curse the trash of Colburn!
D---n “New Monthly's” greasy wicks,
Dimly as the whole burn!
Banished from our jovial board
Be the lack-a-daisy horde!
Banished be the leaden lore,
Worse than edgeless razor!
Heavy fools! who fain would soar,
Go and study Fraser!
Still Regina's rule be mine—
Wit and Wisdom's fount is wine!
