   Composed by Michael Dalton, Hedge-school master of (Rosegarland?).

   In memory of William Stafford the great horseman from (Kayle?), County Wexford.

   I
   In the County Wexford, in a place well known as Kayle
   There lived a gallant sports man, his name I won't conceal
   His kind and mild behaviour was well known by great and small
   His name is William Stafford, he is the boy that leads them all
   Over a quick set hedge or an eight-foot wall his equals can't be found
   He cleared them all without a fall when (?) should go round

   II
   They started him in Piltown from that to (?)
   From that to Carrigbyrne, before the chase did stop
   They were all (?), it grieved their hearts full sore
   To be conquered by young Stafford and he of the Milesian core
   These men of fame, strove in vain, our hero to run down
