“ THE SPRIG OF SHILELA AND SHAMROCK SO GREEN.
O Love is the saul of a neat Irishman,
He loves all the lovely, loves all that he can,
With his Sprig of Shilela and Shamrock so green.
His heart is good-humour’d,’tis honest and sound,
No malice or hatred is there to be found;
He courts and h marries, he drinks and he fights,
’Tis love all forgove for in that he delights,
With his Sprig of Shilela and Shamrock so green. ”
