"Ah! what's the use of bawlin' there?" siz Noah, from his aisy chair,
"Yer only blatherin to the air! come in an' hasp the door,"
Just thin the wathers risin' high, the people all began to cry,
An' scrambled to the places dhry, as fast as they could whail;
Whin all at once they seen a show, for from the distance down below,
Came Captain Pat O'Toole hooroo! an' all his fleet of sail!
He scattered life belts in the flood, an' empty casks, an' chunks of wood,
An' everything he possibly could, with nets, an' ropes, an' thongs
He dhragged thim in by hook, or crook, a tinker, king, a thramp or duke,
