   There was an ould fellow around long ago; he was called Billy the bee. He used come to every fair in Taghmon.
   In the Summer time he'd get down near a bunch of cattle and he'd buzz the very same as a "Gad" fly. All the cattle would put their tails on their back and start to run like the very devil. The farmers usen't to know what be damned was wrong with the Cattle.
