    A Ballad
    Ainm an Aithriseóra: Ní fios cia dhein.
    There was a lady in her father’s garden
    And a gentleman was passing by,
    He stood for a while and he gazed upon her and he said fair lady will you marry me.
    I am no lady but a poor girl and a poor girl of low degree.
    2.
    There are four young men have cast some other sweet-heart
    Any your servant-maid I am not fit to be.
    I have houses land and good living and plenty of money
