    (continued from previous page)
    A metal now will fill the place;
    Its common, found in every glen.
    The last - let no one dare disgrace -
    Is loved by all true Irishmen
    You have the answer quite complete.
    Your troubles o'er no more you care.
    The whole, clear Walter, is the elf
    Who never promises fulfils,
    But leaves is quite devoid of self
    And hence promotes so many ills.
