- It is a vexation I got no education
To put these few verses in metre or rhyme.
About one Cormac Clarke with his ass and a cart.
Round the country did start out to Cox's and Devine's.
When he gets up his load.
He will start to the road.
Some call him a rogue but I say it's a lie.
Before he would wrong you the half of a penny.
I vow and declare this poor merchant would die.

The truth I am telling.
At every man's dwelling along the Cavan line.
He sold salts and senna to one Paddy Heaney.
And good Irish bacon to Hughie O'Brien.(continues on next page)
