But Darby interposes, and cries, "Stop!
Afore we have a reel let's have a hop:
First—boy an' girl; then girl relieve the girl,
Next boy the boy, till all round have a whirl!
Miss Reilly an' myself will lead the first;—
Come, piper! squeeze yir bags until they burst!
'Tatther Jack Welsh,' or 'Smash the Windows,' play,
'The wind that shakes the barley,' 'Flow'rs in May,'
Or any rantin' roarin' lilt ye know:
What! 'Ligrum Cuss?' hurroo! then here we go!"
