   To sweet little "Hazy" and Peggy Malone,
   Those beautiful creatures, the pride of all nature,
   Down from the mountains they're nane to behold.

   They can draw with their needles the Map of old Erin,
   The Garden of Eden, the Temple of Rome,
   The ship in full sail and she ploughing the ocean
   The fox in full chase, and the goose at his door
