    VI
    Three days before the assizes to her brother she did appear
    Saying brother dearest brother let my true love clear
    My apron being about me and he took me for a swan
    And he shot his own darling at the setting of the sun
    VII
    Oh my Molly bán gléigeal if you were alive
    Oh my Molly bán gléigeal I would make you my bride
    My curse may attend you Tobin that lent me your gun
    For to shoot Molly Laoghaire at the setting of the sun.
