- (continued from previous page)For unrelenting in her ire,
She mounted a steed that wouldn't [?],
That from his nostrils belched forth fire
This demon of the night.
And though on a message of mercy bent,
That a dying sinner might repent;
Her weight on his saddlebow she leant,
And he fainted at the sight.But when a pater and ave he said,
This fiend of darkness quickly fled;
Down towards the Tar valley she sped,
And his horse at once revived
He reached the priest without delay,
And brought his reverence all the way
Back to the house where the sick man lay
Then was the sinner shrived.
