We landed safe beside The Court*
And got around William Norton's fire
And as we came so far for sport
The ladies gave us our desire
But when we asked a single kiss
They frowned so grim and looked so wise Sir
Said I to Jim "fine fun is this"
And lo! the moon began to rise Sir

Into the boat we popped again
The bachelors were disappointed
For our passage safe we prayed amen
And how the ladies laughed and taunted
But oh! the moon had such a grace
And all the stars so bright above Sir
I looked on Miss Mc Grath's sweet face
And couldn't keep but fall in love Sir.*The Court of St. Johns on the Roscommon Shore(continues on next page)- Informant
