    He shook me warmly by the hand
    And he asked me home to tea
    Arrah Pat says he I am glad to see
    You looking so fine as that
    And all the time he kept sorewing,
    at my old scolaire hat.

  2. A Song

    Theres Ned and Sam and Nick and Tom And after their day's tail.

    Theres Ned and Sam and Will and Tom
    And after their day's toil
    They would step in to laugh and grin
    At the cobbler William Doyle
    II
    But for myself I can't say much
    I resort there now and then,
    To have a smoke, and laugh and joke
    At Williams clocking hen.
