  1. A Song (continued)

    One starry night in Spring time; A goat she rambled round

    (continued from previous page)
    he ne'er was dismayed.
    The groom rode her up to the chapel of Cross
    And when he dismounted
    She thought it no loss.

  2. One starry night in Spring time
    A goat she rambled round
    It was at Mary Daly's house
    A private place she found
    The youngest of those females
    Quickly jumped out of bed
    She went into the dressing room, And fixed and combed her hair, As if she was ready for a ball
