    And non forgives with nobler pride
    He may be dooped but will not be dared more fit to practice than to plan.
    He dearly earns his poor reward,
    And spends it like an Irish Man.

    If poor or strange for you he will pay,
    And guide to where you safe may be.
    If you are his guest he will you stay,
    He will you stay, his cottage holds a jubilee.

    And if he may your secrets can.
    Your confidence he is scorn to mock,
    For faithful is an Irish Man.
