similarly:

from "Broken Down Squatter"

"When the country was cursed with the drought at its worst,
And the cattle were dying in scores,
I kept up me pluck, and trusted to luck,
Thinking justice might temper the laws.
But the farce had been played, and government aid
Ain't extended to squatters, old son.
When me money was spent, they just doubled the rent,
And resumed the best part of the run."
