Arms there are in it, riches that
would smother the world, rooms full of guineas we will put wax on our
shoes walking them; the horses themselves shod with no less than silver!

[_He begins to make banner. _
BIDDY.
That sounds to be a queer name of an army. Ribbons I can understand,
Whiteboys, Rightboys, Threshers, and Peep o' Day, but Unicorns I never
heard of before.
JOHNNY.
It is not a queer name but a very good name. [_Takes up lion and
unicorn. _] It is often you saw that before you in the dock. There is
the unicorn with the one horn, and what it is he is going against? The
lion of course. When he has the lion destroyed, the crown must fall
and be shivered. Can't you see it is the League of the Unicorns is the
league that will fight and destroy the power of England and King George?
PAUDEEN.
It is with that banner we will march and the lads in the quarry with
us, it is they will have the welcome before him! It won't be long till
we'll be attacking the Square House!
Arms there are in it, riches that
would smother the world, rooms full of guineas we will put wax on our
shoes walking them; the horses themselves shod with no less than silver!
MARTIN [_holding up banner_].
There it is ready! We are very few now, but the army of the Unicorns
will be a great army! [_To JOHNNY. _] Why have you brought me the
message? Can you remember any more? Has anything more come to you? You
have been drinking, the clouds upon your mind have been destroyed. . . .
Can you see anything or hear anything that is beyond the world?
JOHNNY.
I can not. I don't know what do you want me to tell you at all?
