  1. (continued from previous page)
    But I never was took to kiss the book till I came to Cnoc Sean Rátha
    Young Shortall he's a foolish chap the truth I do declare
    His means being scant in fear of want your blood he'd surely draw
    And give your bones to the Cobbler Owens to pick at Cnoc-Sean-Ratha
    I sincerely thank those gentlemen who gained me in the court
    Long may they live fair play to give to the boys who are fond of sport.
