    "Three year olds"
    This bad spirit continued for many years. A captain of the "Four Year Olds" was a Paddy Luddy.
    Said Paddy Luddy to his men,
    Don't ye kill or slaughter
    Ye can slash their sides with blackthorn sticks
    But leave every child his father.

    Annso an Búlán Ruadh
    Seo chuireamar ruaig
    Ar neamhneart as Contaithe Éire
    Tá's againn amh is ní focal lán
    Ní miste a tráct ar aon Rí
    A Seoirse i a bhuidhin ní taitneamhar linn
    Dá dtuigadh ár gásra taobh linn
    Mara mbeidh súd is eagal cad dubairt
    Ní teocfadh ach cúigear saor dibh
    This given by Mrs Ellen Sullivan (79).
    The Irish written as the sounds struck the ear.
