Chapter V: And he "went in"--and smote him

Through mouth-piece and through cheek;

And Heenan smote him back again

Into the ensuing week;

Full seven days thence he smote him

With one prodigious crack,

And th' undaunted Champion straight

Discern'd that he was five feet eight,

When flat upon his back:--

Whilst a great shout of laughter

Rang from the Yankee pack.
