    (continued from previous page)
    Our Moore is always on the west
    We have Knott a bailiff still,
    We have Hylands in the hollow
    And we've Floods upon the Hill
    We would Kilmartin with our Kanes
    And never Slacke our blows
    Joy on our Hartes, our Oates
    Ws never damaged by the Crowes.
    we have Sales and Gills
    We are no Fishe altho we have a Fish
    So leave the Boothes and to the Woods
    We'll go and hunt the Wren
    We've Bridges no one ever crossed
    Notwithstanding all our arts,
    We have Masons trimming bonnets
    And we've Taylors making carts
    We would Lynch a chap for telling Phibbs.
    And quickly changed his tune.
    And chaced the Fox off to Boyle,
    Some Earley after-Noone.
