But now Mr. Jew-man has made me a new man, And whisky and Mammora make my heart glad, To sweet flowing Liffey, I'm off in a jiffey, With a whack for Old Ireland and Ballinafad. From this cursed station, to that blessed nation, Again Master Rooney shall visit your shore, Where, O flourish so gaily, my sprig of shillelagh- Long life to old Nadab of great Mogadore. O then all my cousins will run out by dozens, And out too will hobble old mammy and dad, At dinner they'll treat us with mealy potatoes, And whisky distill'd at sweet Ballinafad. THE JEW OF MOGADORE, OR THE RIGHT USE OF MONEY. **** THE HUMOURS OF MANCHESTER RACES, Since last I trod upon this ground, I've travers’d Sea and Lands, But now I am, bad money like, return'd upon your Hands; I've beat my brains, for little gains, thro' North, South, East and West, And found at last, Home all surpass’d, believe me 'tis no jest.-(Spoken.)

Such crowds of Folks together met, sure ne'er were seen before, From all the Country round about, to the Races on Kersey Moor; From Oldham, Rochdale, Bolton too, as throng as Snithy-door, From Chorley, and Chewbent a few, likewise from Cockey-moor.
