- (continued from previous page)And Biddy form Bruff and they all in a spree
Such combing of locks as they had about me,
And they all wearing caps without borders.VI
Whenever I strolled to the town of Rathkeale,
The girls around me did flock in a square,
So give me a bottle and other sweet cakes,
To treat them un - knownt of their paretns.VII
Some say I'm foolish and more say I'm wise,
Being fond of the women I think it no crime,
The Patriarch Salomon had five hundred wives,
And his wisdom was highly recorded.VIII
Now for the future I mean to be wise,
I sent for those women who acted so kind,
I'll marry them all to - morrow bye - an -
bye
If the clergy agree to the bargain.- Collector
