- (continued from previous page)O he marched them up the hill,
O he marched them down again,
When they were up, they were up,
When they were down, they were down,
When they were half ways up,
They were neighter up nor down.

A poor man rambled up to a farmer's house and asked for alms.
He was given a piece of oaten griddle cake with jam on it. " Don't stir, mam," he said licking off the jam, " here's the plate and many thanks."

A master asked a child to give a poem, so he said, -
Dublin is on the Liffy,
Cork is on the Lea,
Limerick is on the Shannon,
And the master is on the spree.
