    No bridecake or champane were there
    For he is to hard to nail
    And the lonely house in Latten
    Was like Spike Island jail
    The one he loved for years
    Will e'er be on his trial
    And he will recall fond memories
    Of deal old Ballyneale
    Of all the Ballydonough boys
    He is one out stepped the place
    And we hope to rhyme some other time
    Of the beach of promice case
    He is settled down in Lattin now
    And he want to forget the past
    He had a hundred women
    But Miss Kirby was the last
