    (continued from previous page)
    Come all ye youthful lovers and listen to me now
    Beware of those Dunmanus maids and the dolls from the Holy Ground
    Don't be too captivated to mesmerise like me
    With charming young Mollie on the Isle of Cairbre
    So now that I must say good-bye though hard to me it seems
    For I must go to face the foe to the siege of Mons Reigh[?]
    The ancient dove sung long above with tales of love to me
    Concerning my sweet Molly on the Isle of Cairbre
