  1. (continued from previous page)
    Who calls her his wife
    Some day at the altar rails
    With his fair young bride on pleasures tide,
    The seaman's boat theyll sail
    And maybe their son would say "dear John,
    Come in and have a gill,"
    For the song you wrote on my parents both,
    Styled the rose of Meegan's hill.

  2. (near Dundalk)
    In the Dodger's street, they were to meet
    They came in two & threes
    The Nugents & the Garveys, the Connors & the Fees
    The blacksmiths too I near forgot
    And other folks forby.
    Bridgie Fee was in great glee & for her was great call,
    But only Matty Hoy did pay her pass
    She couldn't go at all.
