  1. I
    You lads and gay lasses, I claim your attention,
    Until I will tell you what happened to those,

    And went over to Borland in search of a goat.

    To Faillatureen, & to sweet Leaca Bán,
    The heights of Moing More
    And the wild clifts of Borland,
    And they never cried stop till they came to Bonane.
