    (continued from previous page)
    He scarcely had given the alarm
    When all Wyndam bullies were there
    They ran and they tore and they tattered
    They searched every corner and hole
    "O! its all but the work of our neighbours"
    Says the Grabber belong to Demone.
    "Now this is the latest invention
    Of converting bad rushes to hay
    Let you estimate for the damage
    And I'll do the Maura Dunlea
    Don't mind about straining your conscience
    It's riches we want to procure
    And when we are well compensated
    Fr. James will forgive us I'm sure."
