    Give a copy to John Leahy that poet and genius bright,
    Let me know if he can exceed me before again I'll write,
    To Patt Connor of Drumnacurra and to cousin Michael Dee
    And to each of those three Barretts who stood loyal friends to me.

    Now my pen is getting wear, I have no more to say.
    We can still convey our ideas, although being far away.
    So farewell to all relations as the ocean rolls between
    And to all my loving neighbours who reside in Beencuneen.
