- 1st Verse
It was on a fine summer's morning,
I strayed for to take the fresh air,
And nature made all things look charming,
Likewise, I was free from dull care,
Near to a wee grove I did wander
My course to the South I did steer,
When a charming wee maid, tall & slender,
I met near the town of Dunleer,2
Says I, "My wee Charmer, Come tell me,
What makes you lament or complain,
Or Why why do you chide or repel me,
Before I my passion explain,
How comest, that you are tormented,
Or has Cupid you with a spear,
Perhaps I could make you contented,
Sweet lovely wee maid of Dunleer,(continues on next page)- Informant
