    (continued from previous page)
    To all his neighbour's great delight.

    They spent that night in mirth and cheer
    Until the daylight did appear.
    When Ferguson he did repent

    "I'm proud I lived in ninety eight.
    I'm glad Gilheaney did not die."
    So now I bid you all good bye".
