    Where the buglers are waiting in splendid rotation
    All most amazing to hear the first news
    The guides with their ponies preparing before them
    The cannon-man minding his powder and fuel.

    The celebrated Kate Kearney's with her shop neatly varnished
    On the brink of the water so merely is on
    With the goats-milk and whiskey all porter and biscuits

    That centre so noted for fame and renown

    The seat of Judge Day by the banks by the banks of the Laune.

    From boating and walking as you may have seen

    And at Patsy Breac's counter I went on a spree.
