LISBON It was on one Whitsun Wednesday, the 14th day of May.
WHEN I WAS ON HORSEBACK
Wasn't I pretty when I entered Cork city and met with my downfall on the 14th of May.

LISBON  aka   William and Nancy's Parting

’’And it was on one Whitsun Wednesday, the fourteenth day of May,
That we untied our anchor, and so we sailed away,
Where the sun do shine most glorious, to Lisbon we were bound,
Where the hills and fields are daintied with pretty maidens around.’
