    (continued from previous page)
    To Killusteen I ran with steam,
    In order to blink the trailers,
    I made Duhy's drakes in dread to shake
    Where Stephen had them grazing.
    Alfred's ducks and Downey's drakes,
    Kate Dunne's goose and gander
    Connors hens and Kennedy's cocks
    And a lamb from poor Bill Pender.

  2. Old Songs - My Granny's Cap

    Isn't it white and fancy,
    And wasn't she fond of style,
    'Tis sweet as her first name - Nancy
    And fine as her last - O'Doyle
    Weren't the border cosy
    That helped all her blushes in,
    I bet she was sweet and rosy
    With this big bow under her chin
    I fancy I see her sitting
    Just there where the shadows creep
    Sewing or spinning or knitting
    Or rocking a child to sleep
