   Yee Girls and boys both foolish and wise, be still and I will tell you a story. about Robin Veech and how he did screech. and him in the height of his glory. On the 12th of July his throat it was dry his stomach I am sure it was slack. So for to provide the full of his hide. Poor Bobby he hit on a rack. These been Billy days as the orange men says' and in history I am sure you will find, it on the Boynes bloody plains where they conquered King James and then converted our Island. It was on the last 12th poor bobby the whelp, wore colours up through Swanlinbar. Where he was opposed by a number of foes that fethered his stripes and his stars. But the guards of the town soon had him bound. in spite of the whole orange crew. So I'll give my curse to any mans purse that will pay for a half one for Veech.
