“With your tricks I don’t know, in troth, what I’m about;

Faith, you’ve teased till I’ve put on my cloak inside out.”

“Oh! Jewel,” says Rory, “that same is the way

You’ve thrated my heart for this many a day;

And ’tis plazed that I am, and why not, to be sure?

For ’tis all for good luck,” says bold Rory O’More.

“Indeed, then,” says Kathleen, “don’t think of the like,

For I half gave a promise to sootherin’ Mike;

The ground that I walk on he loves, I’ll be bound—”

“Faith,” says Rory, “I’d rather love you than the ground.”
