KITTY OF COLERAINE.
Beautiful Kitty one morning was tripping With a pitcher of milk from the fair of Coleraine, lien she saw me she stumbled, the pitcher down tumbled And all the sweet butter-milk watered the plain. Oh ! what shall I do now? ’twas looking at you, now j ? buie, sure, such a pitcher I’ll ne’er meet again; ’Twas the pride of my dairy! O Barney McCleary, You re sent as a > plague to the girls of Coleraine! I sat down beside hex', and gently did chide hex*, That such a misfortune should give her such pain ; A kiss then I gave her, and, ere I did leave her, She vowed for such pleasure she’d break it again. Twas hay-making season—l can’t tell the reason Misfortunes will never come single, ’tis plain; For very soon after poor Kitty’s disaster The devil a pitcher was whole in Coleraine.
