    Just as you pass by and fancy a drop
    You can take a step into Davern's shop.
    It is there you'll get whiskey + porter galore
    The best in old Ireland is sold in Rossmore.

    Oh shove round the grog it's the stuff I adore.
    And we will drink a good health to the people of Rossmore.

    Johnny Burke's Gander
    5.
    MacCaw he was got by an improved Lapland gander
    Who was let to a limited number of geese
    And the most of his gets when only goslings
    I am told they went to ten shillings a piece.
