    John Hurley came out with a rusty old gun.
    The hare he been gone, he wanted some fun.
    He cocked it at Robert, who stood at the wall, saying.
    "I think your big belly wants powder and ball.
    John Robert came out, and he reading the news.
    Owen Enright came out and a shine in his shoes.
    Marky Kennedy came out, and he gave a hurrah.
    Saying, "That is the finest hunt I have seen in my day".
    John Jimmy came out, and they crossed the ray-rue.
    Saying "Bother them Kate, they will trample the wheat and what shall we do".
