The divil a copy I wrote,

But not a gossoon in the village,

Dare thread on the tail iv me coat.

I an illigant hand was at courting,

For lessons I took in the art,

Till Cupid, that blaggard, while sporting,

A big arrow sint smack through me heart;

Miss O’Connor, I lived straight fornnist her,

And tindher lines to her I wrote,

Who dare say a black word against her,
