- Ballard of Reading Gaol
- 'Each man kills the thing he loves... the coward does it with a kiss, the brave man with a sword'
- 'In a suit of shabby grey... But I never saw a man who looked so wistfully at the day'
- 'Like two doomed ships that pass in a storm'
- 'The iron gin that waits for Sin, had caught us in its snare'
- 'With slouch and sling around the ring... We did not care: we knew we were The Devil's Own Brigade'
- 'With blunt and bleeding nails; We rubbed the doors, and scrubbed the floors'
- 'Around, around they waltzed around... And with subtle sneer, and fawning leer, each helped us at our prayers'
- 'So with the rope of shame the Herald came to do the secret deed'
- 'The vilest deeds like poison weeds, bloom well in prison air'
