    For the great part he took in this fine hunt to-day.
    VI
    Now before I conclude I must say a word,
    And 'tis to express how my feelings were stirred.
    When I saw how the ladies and gentlemen all,
    Cleared every bank, rock, and stonewall.
    You may talk of your cinema or big picture place,
    But for genuine enjoyment give me the fox-hunters chase.
    Long life to the ladies, and also their teams,
    I hope through this night they have nice pleasant dreams.
    To yourselves and the huntsmen 'tis all I will say,
    You will always be welcome to sweet Coolineagh.
    [Composed by T.T. Murphy, Coolineagh, Aghabullogue.]
