   He either fears his Fate too much,
   Or his deserts are small,
   That dares not put it to the touch
   To gain or loose it all. Marquis of Montrose.

   Two lads in the County of Cavan,
   Were pupils at Drutamon School,
   Although neither was brilliant or clever,
   Yet neither was much of a fool.

   They romped and they played, and they quarrelled
   As boys sometimes do in a huff.
   They pelted each other with snowballs,
   Which generally proved rather rough.

   By name and by nature the Master
   Was Sharp(e) and inclined to the birch,
   Which he sued with discretion and vigour,
   And language not used in a church.

   His nose and his name corresponded,
   It resembled the beak of a crow,
   His cough, it was loud and explosive,
   Like a waggoner's shout of Whoa! Whoa!
