    (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.

    My case I appealed and once more said,
    My pretty and courtly young dame.
    Believe me to be no imposter,
    I never was known by that name.
    But if you will make me your own love,
    You need not hence forth be afraid.
    My bride I will make you in Coachford,
    By the sweet shady groves of Clontead.
