He laughed with glee his friend to see,

And thus their converse ran:

“‘Bedad, how are ye?’ with a bow,

Said Paddy, quite a swell;

The Cockney said, l’E’oped as’ow

The Irishman wus well.’

‘Quite well, and F ye’ll come wid me

I’d think it kind; for why?

I’m going to Town 011 my G-gee

A large H bone to buy.’
