    "Oh; no," says Charlie, "the
    governor won't keep me any
    longer if I do not take the pledge,"
    "Oh; you can tell him you
    took it," says his companion
    "Oh; begob, that won't do,"
    says Charlie, "I must bring
    him a pledge certificate
    from Fr Dunne."
    "Oh; that's alright," says
    his companion, and he got
    for him an old dog licence
    The stamp on this was
    the image of a wolfhound,
    and when he went home
    he was pretty merry from
    drink, and his mother said
    to him, "Did you bring
    the certificate Charlie"?
