UNION VETERANS
Our Union, Lincoln, you must save it;
The South would by their wont enslave it.
Equip us rifles, you can trust us.
And thereby grant the Nation Justice.
DUNHAM
Men, let us be gentle in our attack.
We'll show Manton our discipline and our
adherance to law to contrast their lack.
Our morals strong enough to build a tower.
This is no war and there is no danger,
We need neither be sickle nor winepress
Frankly, even the drinks are arranged for
Us. A toast: to America: God bless.
DEPUTY
To Byron Ballon.
The MEN turn this into a game, quickly.

To Tenacity
DUNHAM
Whence comes such guile from this Manton fellow?
He thinks his town earned that seat honestly?
Let him assert it and let him bellow.
Let his multitudes attempt to best me.
While there is no choice but to share the blame
Invariably every treason begets
at least one more: a pity and a shame.
And no one lives without his own regrets.
IRISH CHORUS
Let us have another round, sir;
give us more until we drown, sir!
Bust the door right off its hinge, we
beg you, please, do not be stingey.
VETERANS
Our feet while stomping jackanapes, ye rebel brats,
do with that they were trampling grapes, ye rebel twats.
And wine is perfect, be it sweet or sour
For once it's drunk no one is dour
DUNHAM
So many men here who are proud to serve,
and I do truly stand proud among them.
Citizen or not, they have the same nerve.
By day's end, Manton will be a wrung hem.
SCANDINAVIAN CHORUS
Thanks to Christ, his sacrifices
But my drink in hand suffices.
Blessèd are the faithful, truly
but for now we'll be unruly.
VETERANS
For the Union!
NON-VETERANS
Here's to the Veterans.
ALL
and Wexford county.
THE NEXT MAN
...Aww, goddamit!
Fade and the men arm and disembark.
