Arrah, Patrick, my boy, now, and where are you jigging? American wit and humor. Irish -- Caricatures and cartoons. The picture shows a simian-headed Irishman riding a pig. He holds a "shillelah" or cudgel. "Crubeen" are fried pigs' feet. The text compares the Irishman's appearance with that of the pig. Arrah, Patrick, my boy, now, and where are you jigging? / Where would you be after just driving the pig in? With such a shillelah, why, truly, and really, / You ride to the devil, dear Paddy, all gaily. / Don't you see how the crubeen is bone of thy bone-- / How his snout, master Paddy, resembles your own? / By the hod! to your liking I ne'er could incline, / Or compelled, why the pig should be Valentine.
