- (continued from previous page)For twice I have won it and mean to do still
I'll return it with splendour this day at Cootehill.
III
The jockeys were mounted and placed in a row
The word of command and off they did go
Hugh turned in his saddle and cast his eye round
Alas my poor Adams lies low on the ground
The rest of the opponents are not in my view
I am afraid that (my) by "Spanker" squire Corry is three
When game she heard this she went in at her ease
Drink a health to Hugh Jackson for proud are his parents of their darling one son.
