    (continued from previous page)
    Up stepped a right stout fellow.
    And seized her by the back,
    When she was taken by the "berd"
    It was loudly she did roar.
    That you might easily hear her
    All 'round "Drumwhillon" shore.
    The boys that killed this goat,
    you all may know them well.
    Among them there was no traitor
    Edward Scarlett for to tell.
    Scarlett being right angry
    He "proferred" a reward and now his going to keep the boar.
    When he gets his byre scráid.
