   Phil Lennon is dead these years. He was a cursed quare fellow. (= V. humorous fellow i.oc.) He could make a verse while you'd be looking around you.
   He came in to the house wan day, there was now wan inside only my Grandmother. Theyw ere talking about piseógs and wan thing and another, and my Grandmother said she did not believe in them things at all.
   Musha say Phil:
   Long may yez reign ma'm me gallant ould woman
   Long may yez reign ma'm with youth by your side
   If all the ouls women in this country ware like you
   These blasted ould tricks would be seen put aside.
