    Let him take the green land
    And come back to Daneswood
    Coming bring his brush home sir
    I wish that you could
    For I owe him bad feeling
    May ye run him tight
    This villian he came and he robbed me by night
    Of a beautiful cock that for me used to crow
    And two hens that were laying he has taken also
    I hope you're so kind as to compensate me
    For my two fine hens and the cock he make three
    The poet has the truth sir
    He won't tell a lie
    Which Prendergast to your honour can this certify
