    Draw near you sons of Erins isle come listen one and all

    (continued from previous page)
    all on the morning train.
    VIII The boys of Turbert the did come their hearts were firm and sure.
    They played Garion and the White Cockade coming up through Drumalas [?]
    Red White and Green on their flags were seen and letters of pure gold
    And our Glorious great St Patrick as he was in days of old.
    VIIII So had I ink of yellow gold and the dimond for my pen
    Had I the tongue of Horner and with like Solomon
    My paper to like silver bright and I a Mathuslems age.
    My History would now photrate poor biggers on my page.
