    I'll wander up and down.
    Will love and kindness meet me then.
    In dear Newmarket town.

    An old Ancient song sung to me by "Daniel the Piper" (O'Sullivan) aged 80 years
    1
    One evening of late as I strayed by the bank of a clear river stream
    I sat on a bank of primroses where I slept and commenced for to dream
    I dreamt I beheld a fair damsel whose equals I ne'er saw before
    And she singing the monks of her country as she she strayed along Erin's green shores
