    (continued from previous page)
    I sold the two cows and the sheep to a dealer,
    He paid down the cast both in silver and gold,
    I drank a good health to the friends and the neighbours.
    To sweet Lissy Casy and Peggy Malone,
    That beautiful creature the pride of the nation,
    Though down from the mountain she's rare to behold,
    She sprang from a prince of the Irish Milaishuns
    That bannished the Danes when invading our Isle.
