   IV
   Were I Hector that noble picture
   Who fell a victim to the Grecian's skill
   Or was I Paris who deeds are various
   Or an arbitrator of an idle skill
   I would range through Asia likewise Arabia
   Through Pennsylvania to be seeking you
   Through burning regions like famed Vesuvius
   For one embrace of the Cailín Ruadh.
   V
   Young man you are dreaming or
   else you are scheming
   You are like the serpent tempting Eve
   Your oily speeches do sting like leeches
   But all your flattery wont me deceive.
   Therefore desist from your solicitations
   For I am engaged I declare its true
   To the lad I love beyond all earthly treasure
   And he will soon enjoy his dear Cailin Ruadh.
   VI
   Ye brilliant Muses you will ne'er refuse as
   I pray give ear to this feeble theme
   Likewise ye Muses who ne'er refuses
   The wounds of Cupid I pray you will heel
   On a perigrination to some foreign nation
   My determination it may prove true
   In hopes to find a maid more kind
   Than this charming fair one - the Cailin Ruadh
