- (continued from previous page)between Tipperary and Ardmore,
Where my fore-fathers lived, three thousand years ago.
When my heart was sad, and sore,
I took a draught at half past four,
And I thought of the poor dear hounds
That I had laid low,
By the shores of the Avormore.

I laughed and laughed with a mighty laugh,
Until you'd think my heart would break,
When I thought of the peelar hounds,
That tracked me night and day,
It is these, I baulked for many a time, when I wandered far away,
By the stream which is called the Abha na Séad,
And by the woods of Avonmore.(continues on next page)- Collector
