    Ending of a Tale
    So put down the Kettle
    And make the tay
    And if they dont live happy
    That we may.
    June 1936. M. Vaughan
    These fragments I obtained from my mother, whose nurse, Ellen Heraghty, of Co. Mayo, used to sing the former over sixty years ago, and used the latter to end all her stories.
