Before the break of day
The stole his bees
They stole his peas
They honey it was real

and another for taking care
and the third for leading the stallion horse they called "the northern star"

The law for to explain
To put the scholars off the pad
and keep them on the laneHe lifted up the crotog hand
For the gentlemen to show
The way the Ruskey boys had battered him coming from Raphoe(continues on next page)
