  1. (continued from previous page)
    Until you are laid in your clay.
    John Reilly would let them pass by him
    Thomas Donohoe would say "Let them go there",
    There is no man will make them so welcome
    As the miller, they call him OHare,
    When the ducks and the geese meet together
    From Urney they cannot refrain
    To think on the pleasures their forefathers had roving round Hackelty plains.
