  1. Percival's Mare (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Ten pounds my friend to you I'll pay
    If you bring to me again my darling chestnut mare
    So now, dear sir, pray bring her back and do that goodwill.
    And if you do, I'll pray for you, while my name is Percival.

    ''Oh no: Your man will not come back and you may thank the fools
    That made you do the dirty work and violate my rules.
    If you had acted an Irishman, as I do now declare,
    You wouldn't want your friends to day, or want your chestnut mare.
