Though I guess that the rogue,
From his twang of the brogue,
Did in Old Erin dwell.
But if not, it was surely some queer Irishman
Who related the tale. I've tried all that I can
To gain further partic'lars, which p'raps might amuse,
But I naught could fish out—ev'ry bait proved no use.
Still I'll pause to explain
(It may p'rhaps entertain),
