    Makinley and his family are worthy now
    of note
    They are living quite contented
    for the keep a sire goat.
    Here's Georgy Gilmor you must
    this chap excuse
    For it was the Sergent that fitted him
    into Jem Burn's shoes.
    Now we come to corwillis where the salvation
    army stays
    There is Mr Charley Cranston he is upright in his ways
    Both him and Jem are God fearing men
    at lest the people say
    But I greatly fear from what I hear
    the dont practice what the pray.
    For Jem he built a castle to adore
    out Corglass.
    The beauty of this mansion
    all buildings did surpass
    Although it was built by botches
    it turned out pretty well.

    were quite the first to dwell.
