    VI
    You hear great praise of Keady boys,
    And boys from Ballinamore
    Boys from Muff and Ballyduff who often suffered sore
    Boys from Clare and far more rare that fought on Tara's hill
    There were none there that could compare,
    With the Shamrock boys of Kill
    VII
    Now to conclude and made an end, my pen I shall leave down
    A fig for those who dare oppose, or on a Kill boy frown
    There is many a girl if she got half her will
    By night or day, would run away with a Shamrock Boy from Kill.
