   And never had experienced.
   The working of a farm.
   "What do you call that stuff you shake.
   So neat from end to end?"
   "Tis Hibernian's Manure sir you may be sure.
   But we call it the farmer's friend.
   'O for fifty years I have suffered.
   With this rank and barren soil.
   But lately I can raise a crop to pay me for my toil.
   And if I live a few years more
   Great riches I'll procure.
   I'll cultivate that mountain there.
   With Hibernian manure".
