I stood in extreme consolation
At length those few words I did say

Around this sweet town of Dunleer.

With rosy sweet blushes she answered
I humbly request you beware
Dont tantalise if by chance Sir
You have met one who is burdened with care
Im far from beuing grand or celestid
My joys are all tourned to tears
Im nearly a creature terrestrial
Thaw dwells near the town of Dunleer

Before I my passion explain.
How comes it that you are tormented
Has cupid touched you with his spear
Perhaps I would make you contented
Thou lovely fair maid of Dunleer
