Now we are married and hope we enjoy, First a girl and then a boy, Seven years after and seven years to come, May young company kiss have done.--Holywood, Co. Down (Miss C. M. Patterson). IX. See what a pretty little girl I am! Brought me many a bottle o' wine! Bottle o' wine to make me shine! See what a pretty little girl I am 1 Upon the carpets we shall kneel, As the grass grows in yonder field; Stand up lightly on your feet, And choose the one you love so sweet.

My sister's going to get married, My sister's going to get married, My sister's going to get married, Ee! li I Oh! Open your gates as wide as high, And let the pretty girls come by, And let the Jolly 1 matrons by. ( bonny..
