“There lived in Rathkyle a very pretty girl named Miss Cox, and there were many who wished to marry her.”
(continued from previous page)"Nick of the Heath" told me,
As he passed by the door,
He saw Mick Molloy and he very coy,
And he dancing on the floor.
The ladies they admired him,
And they said that he was great,
And the jig that Greene repeated was,
"The pigeon on the Gate,"
The number of her bachelors,
I mean to tell to you,
There's "Peter Brien of the bog lane,"
who numbers twenty-two.
