For I'm sure that your ma would say Yes than No, rather.

Though some cruel event has her peace of mind crossed,

Still she's anxious to find the sweet temper she's lost.

And Pat, my fine fellow, how are you to-day?

Here's sixpence to spend in some comical way.

Shall I give it your mother? she'll of it take care;

But whatever you buy give your sisters a share.

Stay, what is this nice smell? who has dinner not done?

For I see by the cloth it is spread but for one:

Sure you never expected to see me!
