  1. (continued from previous page)
    Be ever heard in Doneraile
    May patriots kings and common weal
    Despise and harass Doneraile
    May loudest thunders ring a peal
    To blind and deafen Doneraile
    May vengeance fall at head and tail
    From North to South at Doneraile
    May profit light and tardy Sale
    Still damp the trade of Doneraile
    May fame resound a dismal tale
    When she lights on Doneraile.
    May Egypt's plagues at once prevail
    To thin the knaves of Doneraile.
    May frost and snow and sleet & hail
    Benumb each joint at Doneraile.
    May wolves and bloodhounds trace & hail
    The cursed crew of Doneraile.
    May Oscar with his fiery tail
    To atoms thresh all Doneraile.
    May enemy mischief fresh and [?]
    Abide henceforth in Doneraile.
    May all from Belfast to Kinsale
    Scoff, curse and damn you Doneraile
    May neither flour not oatenmeal
    Be found or known in Doneraile.
    May want and woe each joy curtail
    That e'er was known in Doneraile
