APPENDIX \. 121 



His heart is aching with a void that never shall be filled, 

 For the fav'rite that he loved so well, the fav'rite he killed ; 

 Through the bounds of fair Kilkenny, though he search it 



hill and plain, 

 Ned Smithwick cannot hope to find so good a horse again. 



Bank, wall, or ditch, no matter which, he landed safe and 



clear, 

 And "change" or "kick," would do the trick, and jump 



it, never fear ; 

 The fence could not be strong enough, nor long enough the 



day, 

 No hounds could run too smart a pace for "Sam," the 



gallant grey. 



To E. SMITHWICK, 

 " From Whyte Melville and George Bryan."
