IRISH HORSEDEALER AND THE WRONG CUSTOMER. 85 



Arrah ! now, I'll not evict you, 

 An' I'll see they don't convict you 

 When you're short of rint next quarter, av you'll let me 

 buy the brown. 



" For, ye see, there's Asquith seeking 



For a nag, I heard him speaking 

 To his wife about a hunter down at Spencer's in the shires, 



An' I thought I might present it 



From myself, you'll not repent it, 

 For they're dacent kind of people, an' it's blood that she 

 requires. 



" An' besides, there's many measures 



That the Liberal Party treasures, 

 Av the boys will pull together we shall prosper in the end ; 



So I ask for your assistance, 



An' we will not mind resistance, 

 Pat," he spoke with great emotion, "you will not refuse a 

 friend." 



"Mister Morley," I repeated, 

 " Don't get up," I said, "be seated, 

 Is the case so very pressing ? " "Divilalie," said honest 

 John ; 



Then I said yer honour'd buy him, 

 " Well," he said, "then let him try him, 

 Av he don't, then I must have him, but ye must not keep 

 me long."
