    on horses that wouldn't shy or baulk.
    At fence or bank that I could see.
    From Tinny Park the Misses Corry (two)
    Their horses looking fit and fine
    With them the hounds were kept in view
    At kill or capture did shine.
    Mrs Stevens came from Castlecoote
    And never feared bank or wall
    Her hunter always able to do it
    And once I never saw her fall.
    And Miss Walpole from Castlemore
    They always kept in her place
    With Miss Cotton, Briarfield oft she rode
    Both being front rankers in the chase.
    Other heroines I'd like to name
    But time and space do not permit,
    If the musing jade returns again
    Ladies, believe me, I'll see to it.
