How I'd dance like a fairy To see ould Dunleary, And think twice ere I'd leave it to be a dragoon! "There's a sweet little bit for you," said Mike, as he concluded; "thrown off as aisy as a game at football." "I say, Mr. Free, the captain's looking for you; he's just received despatches from the camp, and wants his horses."

"Double or quit, and a dinner at Dunleary," said Webber. "We must show O'Malley, confound the Mister! something of the place." "Agreed."
