    (continued from previous page)
    From carpen[?] deceivers and cock's comb so haughty
    She brought home the laurels to sweet Crosserlough.
    Now to put an end to these imperfect verses
    May fortune protect her where ever she goes.
    In all her actions glorious set forth may she flourish
    To augment the pain of each blundering foe.
    With vigour increasing and fame without ceasing
    And band of true greatness her praises we'll sing.
    Well led by her jockey and varnished with trophies
    To sweet Killatoher the laurels she'll bring.
