- (continued from previous page)That beautiful creature the pride of nature.
Though down from the mountain she is rare to be hold.
This beautiful damsel was nicely accomplished.
And very well able to knit and to sow.
And spinning her wheel when the wool used be in sazen.
And making up linen so white as the snow. V,
She would draw with her needle the map of old Éirin.
The garden of Eden and the temple of Rome.
The ship in full sale and she ploughing through the ocean.
Then the fox in full chase with the goose he had stole.
Its now I'm returning towards sweet Lizzy Casey.
Tired and fatigued without money or clothes.
Once down is no battle what matter about it.
The sence thats bought is worth silver and gold. VI.
I will marry young Peggy she is full of good nature.
There are plenty old potatoes and baken at home.
She will suckle her infant without education
We will live as contented as the King in his throne.Maurice Griffin VII Class.
