Rh and clap your bare arſe 'pon her, dat vill be a nearer reſemblance of her ſtill; but vill not come up to her yet. I know it ish a cushtomary ting vid us Catho's to provide againſt our dear departed friends and ſuffering dish torment, by putting a pair of new brogues 'pon der cush in de coffin: which I do confesh may do shum ſervice, dat ish, if dey take care to pay de prieſt vell; For he may pray dem out before de brogue be burn, but if not, de devil a ſmall potatoe he vill ſignify! For you know, if he ſtay long in, de role of de brogue vill ſoon be burn, and den fat better vill he be? It ish better to give de price of de brogue it shelf to de prieſt, and he vill pray dem out sho much ſooner den de brogue vill laſt.

But de turd and greateſt punishment of it ish a great big black ugly devil of a vomans, dat ſtands dere vid an iron flail, and she's be trashing dem thro' all de plash in a moſt terrible manner : And fat ever part of de body vas guilty of de shin, she vill be trashing 'pon dat very part. If he vash drunkenneſs nor gluttony, She vill be trashing 'pon de belly. If he vash teeving, she vill come upon deir fingers vid her long flail, till she vill break all her nuckle again, and if he vash adultery nor fornication; ah, ah, ah! you may gueſs yourshelves who will get his payment ſoundly. In short, she vill be trashing and trashing, till de devil a bit of flesh vill she leave 'pon your bone, and dey vill be roaring and shouting, and curſing deir friends, dat vill give noting to de clergy to pray dem out of dat torment.
