'This is supposed to be one of Shields' productions, and the Poet in offering it to the public has every confidence that it will be a tangible treat; the Poet is certain that it is one of the finest effusions extant, and from his long experience, he would invite all lovers of song and music to come and judge for themselves by procuring copies, which can only be had in the Poet's Box, 6 St Andrew's Lane, Gallowgate, Glasgow'.
First lines read: I'll seek a four-leaved shamrock; / In all the fairy dells, / And if I find the charmed leaf / Oh, how I'll weave my spells!
