   ba mhaith liom thú a bheith grinn

   
   Ach má phósann tú an bháirseach
   Beidh aithmhéal go bráthach ort
   Beidh do mhalaí gearrtha
   Agus do chneadhacha ag deánamh braoin
   Is nach deas an rud a bheith deágh shomplach

   (1) Derryode a village, Oh its lately there I went. The night was dark, I went into Mark. And an hour or two, with him I spent. He told me about, the cutaway. That was right outside his thatch. And he said it was like the goose and gander before the goose begins to hatch. (2) The next is Tommy Faddy, I am sure he wont like that. He lets on to be a farmer, and comes out with silly chat. He claims to be a boxer, and stands under daylight weight. He clinches the Napoleons, and sends his punches straight. I heard he bet Pat Baggott and if you were round the place, You would have to send for Tommy Burns.
