- (continued from previous page)night he removed his boots and lay down on the highway.
Next morning his friend Carolan came along and found him. Dunphy addressed Carolan thus
The vale of Avoca Tom Moore says is sweet
But if he was here without boots on his feet
Lying on the road without blanket or sheet,
He wouldn't give a jot where the bright waters meet.
Carolan had a great respect for Moore and his melodies and being somewhat nettled he quickly retorted
You've only a mixture of hayseeds and sand.
You haven't got grammar nor words at command
And the few words you have you can't speak them right
You can only snarl and struggle to bite.- Collector
