II
We thought little enough o' the match here below in the town; people saidMiss Honor'd a right to ha' looked at home, if so be she'd a mind to wed.

An' she reckoned the greatest beauty in the sevin counties around.
Yet she needs must take up wid a sthranger; I believe 'twas from Scotland he came.
No, Sir, I ne'er chanced to behould him, and I disremember his name—
A big man, I've heard tell, as yourself's, Sir, an' pleasant o' speech, but a bit
Conthráry some whiles in his temper, an' come of a quare wild set.
Not aquil no ways to Miss Honor: sure, whin she'd be ridin' the road,
As many's the time I've seen her, be the look of her no wan'd ha' knowed
Whether 'twas to the Earl, or the Countess, or ould Andy the fiddler she bowed;
A rale lady, tho', mind ye, some Quality thought her proud.
