    May corn never grow for them where'er they sow,
    May fire and brimstone blow the corn off the kilns,
    Destruction may assail their flour and oatmeal,
    Damnation ring and peal and send them in despair.
    The man, the horse and car, that in contempt do dare
    May be wafted in the air and scattered here and there
    As for you Kate Molloy, perdition may annoy
    Distruct, distract, destroy and leave you void of friends.
    Confusion, grief and woe
    may prove your overthrow
    Almighty God! deny you mercy in the end
    May grief and sorrow keen make extra spite and spleen
    Be in your aspect seen, by all who may behold.
