O nmen are grown ſo void of reaſon,
they often leave their wedded wives,
Chuſing rather to keep a miſs,
they’re wearied of a married life.
Women for to leave their husbands,
is not that a double ſin?
Enough to bring on he a Judgement,
and conſume the land we’re in.
O grant us peace and unity,
for now the world ſeems at an end,
When each one hates and cheats another,
yes, tho’ he were his neareſt friend,

It’s being on my rambles one ſummer’s morning
early as the day was dawning.
And Sol appear’d in his pomp and glory,
I took my through a pleaſant lawn,
The pinks and roſes were ſweetly blowing,
and linnets warbling in each ſhade,
I being alarmed by a killing charmer
near Youghal Harbour I met this maid.

Her aſpect pleaſing, her ſmiles engaging,
I thought ſhe really would attract my mind.
As I view’d each feature, I thought on the fair,
That in Rathangan I had left behind:
Her glancing eyes being moſt ſurpriſing,
Oh! I think young man I ſaw you before.
