  1. (continued from previous page)
    When the fairy began to dance,
    Like a lady out of France.
    8. On the top of the tree doth sit,
    A little soldier in red,
    With a stone in his stomach pit
    And a helmet on his head.
    ( A sceachóirí or haw)
    9. Four stick standers (legs)
    Four lilly-landers, (teats)
    Two lookers (eyes)
    Two crookers (horns)
    And one whip-about (tail)
    (A Cow).
