    On the hill of Fennon; this ruffian lived,
    And he's name was Billy Loyd

    The minister's daughter visits the ass
    Belinquish Pope and Popery,
    And I will set you free,
    I'll never deny till the day I die

    For I were it on my shoulder,
    Although I'm but an ass,
    This poet was a labouring man who lived about 1840.
