    IV
    Why are thou Beauty so confined
    Thou favourite one so fair.
    And why not each of woman kind
    receive an equal share.
    The gentle sin may ask with ven
    And envy to the core.
    Such queries when they gaze upon the Beauty of Kilmore.
    This song was composed by James McKeon of Cloonfadmore on a seeing a girl whom he considered a beauty as he was going to a Regatta in Drumsna.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
