- (continued from previous page)To a lass from Cappamore
This match was made some time ago
Twas easy to complete
He met her in the farmstead
Where she was crowning beet
Her name it is Miss Kirby
And so we are told of late
She had £100 and could no longer wait
One evening of a coursing
He sayed here for a while
And Doherty was cerlian
He was waiting for a trial
corkscew is a shrewed old boy
For a fortune he did seek
Although he dropped a £100
and almost in a week
He seached the country everywhere
From the Shannon to the Suir
Until he found this lassie
At the bridge of Kilwra
He was nervous and highly strung
But he wore a pleasing countenance
His false teeth made him young
The honeymoon was spent in Tipp
The truth to you I'll tell
It was not at Dobbins
But at Enrights in Churchwells(continues on next page)
