Well, well then, cries Paddy, let's make up the matter,
Now, as we're both learn'd men, we cannot do better,
Than both to shake hands o'er a good hearty doze
O the stout Irish Usquebæ smells at my nose.

It's the bellman, says Pat, by my shoul I'll be sworn,
It was Ringle Macdingle; a Highlandman born,
He was the first Highlandman history can tell,
And the Highlandmen's tongues they still ring like a bell.
Ballynamony and Oro, &c.
A sweet Irish answer for me.
