    Your ancient locks will not avail,
    Nor your sublime oration, O,
    For Peeler's Act will you transport
    By your own information, O.
    The Goat
    No penal law have I transgressed
    By deed or combination, O;
    I have no certain place of rest,
    Or house or habitation, O.
    Descended from a noble race,
    Loved Bansha is my birth place, O,
    There I abide in perfect peace,
    Till you brought your false charges, O.
    The Peeler
    Your insolence I will chastise,
    And violent behaviour, O;
    Well bound to Queenstown you shall go,
    Where you shall gain no favour, O.
    The magistrates will all consent
    To sign your condemnation, O;
    From thence to Cork you will be sent
    For speedy transportation, O.
