   II
   His origin, it needs no comment,
   For his breed it is very well known.
   He was bred of 'a shake' called the 'Deeler',
   That was 'stole' from the County Tyrone
   Ye all heard of the "Uashes"
   A Better rate never was bred
   And that was the breed by the mother
   This skake the Kildallon Brown Red.

   (A shake- a cock)

   III
   This cock was a blue bottomed "Burchoen" (blue colour)
   He was long and right straight in the "rein"
   His "hattle" was rather a pilley
   He was fit for the Monaghan "main"
   He was matched with a Leitrim pilley
   That was held in greatest esteem
   He fought at the 'main' in Drumreilly
   And anon there, its plain to be seen.

   rain - neck
   hattle - neck
   pilley - straight
   main- bout

   IV
   These cocks were a stone weight and over
   Without either feather or steel
   The two handers, they met together
   Like two pugilists on the field
   The put on spurs with good courage
   The pit was immediately rid
   The bets were right [?] making
   Against the Kildallon Brown Red.

   steel - spurs
   two header- fight with either feet,
   pit - where 'fights' were fought.
