For a week in peril, in punishment, in pains, In the house of Thomas OFlynn, on my bed,(My wounds) being dressed every night, and again in the morning (May God never weaken myfriend!) A promise truly do I give to Christ That I shall renounce the drinking of whiskey,And sure the world knows that it is not with liking for it I do be, But with love for the peoplewho are near it. 3. A nice thing is cattle, good grass, and a holding of land, Wheat and barleyto cut; Meal in the chest, and a fire in the evening, And shelter to offer the traveller; A shirtand a coat at Mass on Sunday, A hat, and shoes in the fashion, And I think, surely, that thatis greatly better Than to be going and drinking whiskey. I 4. Its I, too, am able to expound it,because I have spent my life with you, Since I was weaned, and I a child; Sure I have forsakenmy people, my kith and kin. And I would not deny you, (and follow) the advice of the Church.(Take) your store and your worldly goods, and all that was ever settled upon you, And spend itwithout resting with the ale-women, (Still) if you return again, and your puree to be despoiled,They will not give you one drop in the morning. I 5. The Whiskey (answering): Musha lits longIm listening to you shelling lies at me, And myself must speak out in future; Sure its manysthe naygur looking for alms (like you), And without his having the price to ask for me, except his wallet. He who gathers together hundreds (of pounds) by hardship and foolishnets, Andwho will not wet hi mouth, and thirst on him, There wifi come after him an heir, and a manof heart, who will not refuse To be drinking it beside the fence or the wall. I 6. Am not Icourteous company at a gathering or at a fair For the man who would sit down shyly (7) besideme 7 It is only want of sense in you to be now refusing me, And no man but a poltroon willbelieve your tale. People of coughs and phlegm, it is I who could relieve them, And the hundredsknow this already; Sure the ladies have me, the priests, too, and the clergy, And the mastersof learning and of Latin. j 7. The Drunkard: Musha, trouble and disgust on you! its you whospeak hamelessly, And I would not give you a character half so good; I have spent my termof two nights and two days with you, And your case has not gone too well with me, You haveburned my fcrehead and the tops of my fingers, And on the strings (of the violin) I eannot lay9. luMp nMi-nepl i-gp1ob 1 teabAp llAnAoflnA t r - -tudn pdice go mbionn nil A nleAtta65411 top- niorn no dAi1Affi i o r r -raosAtrOgo ncumriii r 1 naop in re bpeAcAb.An pdcaipe: 1 rs r nA a nofoga mA d attreap geapdomi teTe bApp a beit conupAmneAd teen-pa,t etp beAds hA mlAOth ii nim gup cAmflO 1, nub-aipt Cplorcgo clnnce nat bem pb re mie ytaitai-.2.
