就像剪羊毛的人说的那样，住在城堡边上英格尔伯恩的帕特·阿赫恩很有钱，而且很“闪光”。在北方佬那里，他的运气很好，在那儿，他最近把池塘都舀了起来;他简直把两个人的学校给毁了——[在一声“灰”的帮助下!然后帕特像其他人一样长大了，他的头开始膨胀;当他飞的时候，他想他也应该试试悉尼的人。“当尤奇·比尔和金格·吉姆发现他是一个卖主的时候，他们想在他身上占便宜的机会就微乎其微了!”但是布须曼人玩的游戏不是悉尼猎人玩的游戏;城里人说，乡村聪明人“只是他们的靶子”。而帕特里克，他在悉尼城里还没待上半天，就被带走了，除了半克朗!对剪羊毛的帕特来说，在他离开之前，他明智地支付了返回英格尔伯恩的车费，这是件好事。 It's not what you could call a joke To find yourself completely "broke"; But Patrick had a splendid stroke In store for Castlereagh! He found a shop - an oyster-shop - Where lobster, crab and cray Were all alive, and seemed to thrive; And purchased straight-away Some crayfish and some lobsters, too (Such things are cheap in Woolloomooloo), And caught the Western mail that flew Towards the Castlereagh. The train was crowded; which allowed No sleeping on the trip. Pat had a flask, and thought to ask The men to take a nip. Just then a lobster chanced to find The bag unclosed, and, feeling kind, It gave a man a nip; but mind, It was not on the trip! And then some crayfish got away, With lobsters, two or three; And sundry grips and divers nips Made things extremely free. Profane expressions filled the air (Disgraceful how some people swear!); A livelier time than Pat had there You would not wish to see! A great hooray! the ladies, they Declared it was a plot, Beyond a doubt, to drive them out. But leave? No, they would not; They swore that they would clear the coast, Or else the guard should lose his post; But women always are a most Unreasonable lot! On Pat's return to Ingleburn The shell-fish were in tow, And things were gay on Castlereagh Preparing for the Show. For every township in the scrub That owns two churches and a pub Must run a Show and draw a sub. From Goldsbrough, Mort and Co.! Now shell-fish are extremely rare Upon the Castlereagh, And Ingleburn galoots don't yearn For lobster or for cray. Lobsters indeed they'd never seen, And never might, had it not been For Pat Ahearne, and he was mean Enough to make them pay! On lucre bent he hired a tent And made a rise with ease. 'Twas at the Show, of course, you know Where side-shows always please. The shell-fish they were placed inside, And Pat stood by the door and cried: "Walk in and see Australia's Pride - The monster Sydney fleas!"
