She left her seven curses
On the peelers far and near
For day and night they hunted her
Though she often brought them beer

From Ballydonnell pasture
He turned her off right plump
She strayed unto Crosspatrick
And got drowned in a pump.This mare was sold to a farming man(continues on next page)- Collector
