    (continued from previous page)
    I will go along with you
    Here is my hand and heart
    And I'll enjoy a roving boy
    And from him never part.
    XII:
    Now Shawn I must tell you and that's very true.
    That I should be happy with you little to do.
    At a T_______ that's fit for a lord I'll go bail.
    And a dance every night with true sons of the Gael.
    XIII;
    So that's not very bad for a lad of my size.
    Don't think for a moment that I'm telling you lies.
    My muse has forsook so I'll put out the light.
    Pleasant dreams comrade Shawn
    and a glorious good-night.
