    I took her from my pocket,
    And to them I gave the sound,
    And I drove them all before me,
    Like the hare before the hound.

    This poem was made on the occasion when he was put in jail for smuggling cattle into Northern Ireland.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
