    Were I lord over Courcey's broad acres
    Or mayor over all Kinsale town
    Were I chief of the mighty law makers
    That dress up in ermine and gown
    Were I king over these isles in the ocean
    Where the rich fruits luxuriously grow
    I'd rather the love and devotion
    Of my Cailín Deas Crúidthe na mBó

  2. A Song about Furroor

    One evening for quite recreation

    I
    A Song about Frure
    One evening for quite recreation
    In-hailing the atmosphere pure
    In mirth and in keen relaxation
    I roamed through the townloand of Frure
    II
    Its bosom all clothed in verdure
    And decked with the flowery array
    Its hedges all glowed with splendour
    It being the sweet month of May
    III
    Its natives with scant education
    Looked pleasing quite gentle and free
    And possessed that for famed reputation
    As the Victoms of Kind Charity
