- (continued from previous page)call Master Mc Grath"?
Lord Lorgan stepped forward and said "Gentlemen is there any among you have money to spend".
The nobles of England they don't give a haw 3000 to one bet on Master Mc Grath.
Mc Grath he looked up and he wagged his old tail saying your Lordship I know what you mean.
I know says Mc Grath there are wild hills and boys but yet in old Ireland there are good men and dogs.
The hare was let off in the beautiful view as swift as the winds o'er the green hills she flew
Rose took the first turn according to law the second was given by Master Mc Grath.
He jumped on her back and held up his paw
saying "three cheers for old Ireland and Master Mc Grath".
