    (continued from previous page)
    For Nature here with lavish hand,
    With sylvan beauties decked the land,
    No Work of arts could e're excel,
    The beauteous lovely Katty's well.
    This song was composed by James Doyle Ballinakill, and is quite popular where he resides.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
