- He either fears his Fate too much,
Or his deserts are small,
That dares not put it to the touch
To gain or loose it all. Marquis of Montrose.Two lads in the County of Cavan,
Were pupils at Drutamin School,

And language not used in a church.His nose and his name corresponded,

Like a wagghoner's shout of Whoa" Whoa!(continues on next page)
