Knew everything about her dairy,

But not the rhyme for Tipperary;

The stubborn muse he could not vary,

For still the lines would run contrary,

Whene'er he thought on Tipperary;

And though of time he was not chary,

'Twas thrown away on Tipperary;

Till of his wild-goose chase most weary,

He vow'd to leave out Tipperary.
