"When I was young a farmer named Lyons from Cnoc a Tobraide dreamt three nights running that there was a crock of gold hidden under a sgeach back beside the fort Ráth Chaorach ("Ráheeroch"). He and his two nephews decided to have a try this night. They were not long digging until they met the flag. They lifted the flag and right enough there was the gold. With a great struggle they got it as far as the house. They decided to bury the treasure under the hearth-stone in the parlour. They went in quietly and worked away without making any noise lest they might waken the servant boy who was sleeping in the parlour. The man of the house brought the candle over and held it to the boy's face "Are you asleep, you little rogue, you, are you asleep?" The more he questioned him the more the boy snored. But 'the little rogue' wasn't asleep and he had to get his store of the gold.[The point that always struck me every time I heard this story told, was that the servant boy had a bed in the parlour. Where are they put to sleep nowadays?]

(Sonnet, spoken in the person of the High Priest)Fair How'n of Jesse's royal stem, the pride, The joy of Judah, glory of they race! What mystic cloud flits o'er they pensive face, That prompts thee doubt, thy treasure chaste confide, To him, who's come, to seek thee, for his bride? For he, by Heaven ordained, to be thy spouse, From Angels' lips shall learn thy sacred vows; And shelt'ring, from all rude approach, shall hide Thee 'neath thy marriage weil, -- until what time, Th' Almighty's Love Substantial warned withal, His light shall on thy hallow'd farm have shined, And in the shadow, 'gainst that Ray sublime, The Fruit Divine shall grow, and ripen'd fall, That endless life shall give to all mankind.Die Desponsations B.V.M. 1911.
