    Twas not you at all!
    Be dead sure said Mac
    Or the priest I will call

    When Pound heard of the priest
    Sure he got a great fright
    He crossed Conors hill and was soon out of sight
    Said he, I'll to Fodh-ees in case
    I'd be blamed
    So he hid in the barn
    Till the gate was reclaimed.
