- (continued from previous page)And Brigid with politeness hung a lip of mode
It would hold the county cess in copper
And the Paris funds in gold.
The Kyle's and Ballycummers like macamoors came there
Their thoughts were not on dancing
But their suppers I declare
Pat Keefe in expectation to fill himself for once
But the silly dunce got the same as us all, a snack.
The man that hid the kettle forgot to leave it back

Jim Donohue put in his head
If I could but half explain
How he threw his skirts behind him
To let us see his chain
How he carried such a burden
Is a mystery to us all
Threw across an empty stomach
& that must be what has him so small
His companion Daniel Kenny
He came there as drabbled as a frog
He left his curse at Rashenmore
Going home to Corndog.
