    VI
    My breakfast it was very bad
    My dinner worse and rather late
    The spudiens boiling in the pot
    And the scodáneens on the plate
    VII
    I met my mistress in the hall
    I thanked her for a drink of beer
    She said there is a pump stand by
    And you can drink it if you be dry
    And if you don't like what you'll get there
    Sure Ladyswell is hard by.
