    Holding him at deadly strife.

    O'er that knight and lady bright
    And to join that union closer

    Ballyready's hope and heir.

    On the bliss so fondly sought,
    Came a cloud above from heaven,

    For the knight was sorely troubled
    With a jealous fever fit

    Like a poisoned fiend woud flit.
