For the lab'rers in him a severe master found.
And the poor never called, for they knew 'twas no use,
As he gave naught away but a show'r of abuse.
It was not quite respect made him seek for his daughter
Such a partner for life, but he wisely had taught her
His favourite maxim of—Get all you can;
For 'tis money alone manufactures the man.
Young O'Donoghue, too,
Is a bit of a screw,
For he wears an old coat which has never been new.
