    To draw water from off the boiled praties
    VII
    Some flax and a wheel some wool and a reel
    And a besom to keep the house snug
    A few bundles of frieze to cover my tighs
    And for you a neat piece of brown rug
    And then for young Thady we must have clothes ready.
    With pineady to keep him a feeding
    A cradle see saw and red bolsters slaw
    To keep to the brat when he's teething
    VIII
    Some soap to wash all shirts stocking and all
    A table three stools and a forum
    All this I will give and I think we may live
    As well as the justice of
    But Biddy a store should you want any more
    Roar out with out any bother
    For an Irishmans pride tis what ever betide
    To keep his poor wife in good order.
