Except an unchristian-like glutton?”

Says Pat, “Cease your nonsense, I beg,

What you tell me is nothing but gammon;

Take my compliments down to the leg,

And bid it come hither a salmon!”

And the leg most politely complied!

How the snakes, in a manner most antic,

He marched to the County Mayo,

And trundled them into th’ Atlantic.
