Song (continued)
“On Sunday last when on a walk, A sight "Old Faithful did see....”
(continued from previous page)For joy had turned to woe

Was the thought of happy gain
But in "Templetuohy" not "Templemore"
And in Sunshine not in rain.

Let none of you let out
for as you Know' twould be for me
The end of my where about
