    There is an office at Gaora for earning gold,
    By the wife of a traitor who is mangy and cold.
    Her garden of daisies is her only support.
    That beautiful acre that nature composed.
    Those black mangy sheep to the land-lord did run,
    Saying I hope your honour will lend the argue,
    For to come to your meeting I've got a great fright
    From the rest of those tenants who threatened our lives
    Watch up the tenants and I'll reward you,
    Swear informations and I'll [-] then it's true,
    Call in your wife and I'll speak to the cook,
    And I'll tell her to bring you a fine bowl of soup.
