   And in a course no hobble met
   Untill he arrived a sunset
   His parents met him at the door
   With out stretched hands you may be sure
   For hither to they mourned sore
   For they thought he was no more
   He told them all that he went through
   The very same as I've told you
   And how the whole affairs did pass
   Between Bob and Shawn from Aughavas
   The old mans passion grew so hot
   Siezed his "botheen" on the spot
   And made a flourish round about
   Then like a deer he started out
   His consort asked where was he going
   But he replied let me alone
   For I will neither stop nor stand
   Nor eat or drink nor sleep a lick
   Untill I give damn Shawn a lick
   Or two of this good horny stick
   Though Tom looked on with childish glee
   He said as this leave Shawn to me
   His treachery wount be forgot
   The lane is long that turns not
   The poor old fellow there and then
   Desisted and returned in
   And did no further freaks display
