  1. The Sweet Shady Groves of Clontead (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Too forward young man hast thou spoken,
    Much trust to impose it on me.
    My parents would blame me, you know well,
    If with you alone I had strayed.
    From the lovely sweet village of Coachford,
    And the sweet shady groves of Clontead.
    IV
    My case I appealed and once more said,
    My pretty and courtly young dame.
    Believe to be no imposer, I never was known by that name.
    But if you will make me your own love,
    You need not henceforth be afraid.
    My bride I will make you in Coachford,
    By the sweet shady groves of Clontead.
    Composed by Poet Ahern.
