His name far and wide is in bright circulation.
From the fair Shannon’s side to the Ennistymon plantation.

II
If down from Kilkenny to Galway you’d fare.
His name is from hence to the castle of Clare.
For Garrihy is the youth with his useful vocation.

The best fashion boots he can smooth them completely.

Nellie Duggan.
