- (continued from previous page)"Upon my word but your an ass" says mark without a whimper
And Moll as innocent as a lamb stood smiling by his side
Thinking of course that all the talk was making her a bride
VIII
Now if I told you anymore you'd break your heart with laughter
Mark and Moll went married home and lived like angel's after
If for many a year to come a wake you'd put your head in
You'd hear the boys conversing there about Mark and Mollies wedding
For Mollie she was fit for Mark no matter what you'd say
Two fool's could be as happy as
Two wise ones anyday
This happened in Sutton's parish but the names are not real their descendant's live there still.
Some say Michael Dalton composed it other's differ and say it was
John Hackett a native of the Hook, and died in Ballyvelig.
