    These are some of the rhymes that are told in my district.
    European, Laurapean, Laura be
    Pol O'Neill, philipa suila,
    Suila chickna, chickna waile
    Quia quotha aweethaun

    The cow besmeared the market place.
    Simon ally hunt the buck,

    till daylight rung.
    In comes Tadd
    with his long rod
    and beat us all from wall to wall
