And it dawned as bright as they’d wish to see.

And Jemmy was up at the day’s first peep,

For the livelong night no wink could he sleep.

A bran-new coat, with a bright big button,

He took from a chest and carefully put on—

And brogues as well lamp-blacked as ever went foot on,

Were greased with the fat of a quare sort of mutton!

Then a tidier gorsoon couldn’t be seen

Treading the Emerald Isle so green—

Light was his step, and bright was his eye,
