   He is dead about forty years. He wrote it about his neighbour who lost money at the thimble-riggers at the fair in Ballycumber

   The second day of blooming May.
   It been at Ballycumber fair.
   I took a strole with Tom Malone who
   often cut a figure there
   And in we went to Jimie's tent
   Politely shown up stairs
   Where Beau and Bell vied to excell
   In dancing native airs

   We neatly fed on ginger bread.
   Drank Bacchus old whey.
   That well toned drone roused up Malone.
   Squeezed up by poor old hay.
