1798, J. Frazer, Edward Molloy (ballad), in The Ballads of Ireland Collected and Edited by Edward Hayes, volume 1 (1855):
Ay, call me a traitor, though traitorous rogue Is below me as much as the nails in my brogue; But ye shall not be led, our good cause to destroy, And ourselves for a tilly, by Edward Molloy.
"I had me eye out in case he had done ye a bad turn; may be he did, an' may be he didn't, but I put a tilly in this just to sarve him out," and he drew a heavy pistol from his pocket as he spoke.
