Got home, I in no time at all went to bed, Sir,
But still on these spectres my fancy did keep,
And such comical whimsies kick'd up in my head, Sir,
That made me get up, and walk out in my sleep.
I thought that Outh's hill to a giant had changed,
And to wrestle with him did me strongly invite ;
In a case now like this, sure, it was'nt strange, Sir,
That I chose, joy, much rather to run than to
. fight.
Wid my gramachree, See.
He follow'd me down stairs, agrah, in a jiffey,
And to catch me he gave a most damnable stride,
When finding myself on the banks of the Liffey,
I jumped in, and swam till I reach'd t'other side.
The chill of the water soon made me awake, Sir,
When, fait, a delectable figure 1 cut,
JFor I'd made, arrah fait, a most curious mistake, Sir,
And, instead of the Liffey, jumped into a but.
Wid my gramachree, &c.
leagues trip from Dublin to London,
My name, sure, is Teague, now in Connaught was
born, Sir,
.'Bout three or four months after mother was wed ;
And yet, for all that, such a thing as a horn, Sir,
Ne'er popp'd, d'ye mind, in my daddy's wise head.
