    (continued from previous page)
    She speaks co-equal to rich and poor
    And when death will call her
    May angels guard her,
    Young lovely Mary from Barrackview.
    III
    This noble lady is educated,
    She knows a deal of astronomy
    Both navigation and mensuration
    each book and page of Geometry
    She is daily teaching through revelation
    She writes dictation in Stenography
    And without failure, she is truly faithful
    She is well up reared in theology.
    IV
    She is a native of Toames near Gearagh
    With generation longside the Lee
    In golden ages where poets proclaimed
    In the old Gaelic with Ireland free.
