THE TRUE LOVERS.
D775
Note-book D.VII. p.6l.		Mrs. Marina Russell,
					Upwey, Dorset.
					Jan/Feb. 1907.
My friends I do not value, for my foes I do not care,
But along with my jolly seaman bold I will travel far and near.
She said, "My dear forsake, but pity on me take,
To transport bonny Ireland along with you I'1l go."

This fragment was all that Mrs. Russell could remember.

"To transport bonny Ireland" ls a corruption of "Through
France, Spain, bonny Ireland -" F.E.P.
