By the Terrible Eagle, my ancestor, I order that the cursed bear be cut to pieces instantly!
Not only so, but the song itself, if the witnesses were to be believed, so far from being an ordinary childish ditty, was some matter of pretty maids and foaming wine-cups that Tom Moore might have written, and that gentlemen sometimes trolled out, an hour or two after dinner.
