[The Word Tory Has Changed Greatly In Its Meaning, As It Originated In The Reign Of Elizabeth, And Represented A Class Of "Bog-Trotters," Who Were A Compound Of The Knave And The Highwayman. For Many Interesting Particulars See Crofton Croker'S 'researches In The South Of Ireland,' 4To, 1824, P. 52.] Ho! Master Teague, What Is Your Story? I Went To The Wood And Kill'D A Tory; I Went To The Wood And Kill'D Another; Was It The Same, Or Was It His Brother? I Hunted Him In, And I Hunted Him Out, Three Times Through The Bog, About And About; When Out Of A Bush I Saw His Head, So I Fired My Gun, And I Shot Him Dead.
