    “I went to the fair and my cattle I sold”

    (continued from previous page)
    This gentle young damsel has serious experience
    In knitting and spinning
    In milking her cows and loading her dairy
    And making up linen as white as the snow
    So she draws with her needle the map of old Erin
    The Garden of Eden, the Temple of Rome,
    The fox in full chase with the goose that he stole
    And the ship in full sail o'er the Ocean's blue foam.
