- (continued from previous page)VINag my dear, but you were clever,
Tricking us at Halloweve,
How you did it, Nag my dear,
I can't conceive.VIIAnd the cards so nicely written,
Not a name but you could spell,
None in Erin or Great Britain,
Could have wrote them half so well.VIIITell me dear, where did you get them,
Did you purchase them in town?
People say that Jimbo bought them,
With the cash he stole from Brown.
IXTell him I was asking for him,
Tell him too, to mend his ways,
Only he gave Browne the money
In Mountjoy he'd end his days.
