Note 35 — PATRICIANS AND PLEBEIANS.

These lines were considered as a standing joke for many years in that part of the country, and ran as follows:

Dialogue between Tom Flinter and his man.

Tom Flinter. Dick! said he;

Dick Henesey. What? said he;

Tom Flinter. Fetch me my hat: says he;

For I will go, says he;

To Timahoe, says he;

To buy the fair, says he;

And all that’s there, says he.

Dick Henesey. Arrah! pay what you owe! said he;

And then you may go, says he;

To Timahoe, says he;

To buy the fair, says he;

And all that’s there, says he.

Tom Flinter. Well! by this and by that! said he;

Dick! Here, hang up my hat! said he.
