“One morning in the summer season ¶ As I strayed to take the fresh air”
(continued from previous page)No mortal on earth can relieve me
Save only a youth thats away
His absence it ever shall grieve me
Until Im laid in the clay
Its for him I would sail the seas over
Or travel the globe to my dear
But oh I'm a heart broken lover
That shortly will die in Dunleer.
VI
Yes madam I know young O'Farrell
Forget him now take my advise
The traitor that deceived many girls
At length he has made me his choice
He's wed to a lady in Flanders
Who's fortune three thousand a year
So drive from your mind such pretend [?]
Thou lovely fair maid of Dunleer.
VII
My darling she acted so loyal
My person to her I reveal
I found when she came to her trial
Her love she never concealed
For to conclude my narration
Im married to Nancy my dear
Our neat pretty snug habitation
It stands in the town of DunleerComposed by J Shields Aclint
