- (continued from previous page)It did not burn or wound her, not a hair
XVI
Curse on thee Conn Rought, you have made me break my duty
Vain thinking of my beauty, and my youth
grief in my bosom rankles, In vain glory in my ankle's
Forgetting heaven and thankless, of its works
XVII
May the Saints your forge fire deaden, may your bellows be like leaden
and iron never reddin, night or day
For your jeering and your guiling, May no smith there live in Cullen
young or old, gay or Sullen, here I pray
XVIII
Though a thousand years have night run
yet this curse does still in ire run
and fire wont reddin iron in this town
no smith can gain a penny
For a fire wont light for any
Be it blown by few or many, prince or clown
XIX
The smiths are all transported, and the nails are all imported
Since the smith St Lateeran sported, as I'm told
and horses that want shoeing, To Millstreet must be going
Or without their shoes be going as I'm told
