   The following Ballad was evidently written by a Caravat. The tone is anything but friendly:

   Ye boys of old Erin assemble

   I hope we'll have peace in our isle

   In taking a glass on together

   Like brothers we are now inclined.

   II

   Ballingarry is always in bloom

   [?] it will never decay

   It is not like those Shanavest Godachs

   The frost it will nip them away.

   III

   Down with their yellow profession

   And down like the snow it will fall

   Like Lucifer cast out of Heaven

   So will those Shanavests fall.

   
   IV

   The old waistcoat I cannot endure

   For they like the Orange reply

   The Shanavests where it for clothing

   With hunger they would lay down and die.

   V

   Here's a health to Rich Corcoran and Martin

   Those inflable friends of reknown

   And likewise to Dromcadh Curry

   That always beat Shanvests down
