    You missed your foot upon the wall
    And you coming in full speed,
    You pitched your noble rider and laid him in his gore
    Our noble Lord and Marquis the pride of Curraghmore.
    While the other Marquis was living in Curraghmore he stopped a well. There was a good many poor people drawing water from this well. The parish priest whose name was Fr. Spratt spoke to him about it. The Marquis said to the priest "In the water you should be" but the priest said no, but you will be in it and you can't live any place else. Then he took disease which effected his spine and he couldn't live on dry land.
