- (continued from previous page)"To you, Mister casey, I give my whole estate,
And to you, young O'Brien, my money and my plate,
I give to you, Sir Francis, my whip, spurs, and cap,
For you crossed walls and ditches and ne'er looked for a gap".

“Riddle me riddle me ranty O, my father gave me seed to sow.”
Riddle me riddle me ranty O,
My father gave me seed to sow.
When the seed began to grow
Like a garden full of snow.
When the snow began to melt
Like a ship without a belt.
When the ship began to sail
Like a bird without a tail.
When the bird began to fly
Like an eagle in the sky.
When the sky began to fall
Lord have mercy on us all.
(a ship drowning)
