- (continued from previous page)May no one coffin want a nail
That wraps a rogue in Doneraile.
May all the thieves that [?] & steal
The gallows meet in Doneraile.
May all the sons of Granuale
Blush at the thieves of Doneraile.
May mischief big as a Norway whale
Oerwhelm the knaves of Doneraile
May curses wholesale and retail
Pour with full force in Doneraile
May every transport that sets sail
A convict bring from Doneraile.
May every churn & milking pail
Fall dry to [?] in Doneraile
May cold and hunger still congeal
The stagnant blood of Doneraile
May every hour new woes reveal
That hell reserved for Doneraile
May every chose ill prevail
O'er all the [?] of Doneraile
May no one wish or prayer avail
To soothe the woes of Doneraile
May the inquisition straight impale
The raparees of Doneraile
May Charon's boat triumphant sail
Completely manned from Doneraile
Oh may my couplet never fail(continues on next page)
