  1. (continued from previous page)
    the last day was far better than the first.
    And I got brogues of butter and creeks of glass
    And I came slithering home on my ass;
    And if you had been there,
    You would have got your share;
    For I was looking at all that.

    He was out fishing one day and he caught a fish. A voice from the bottom of the river told him that he was to give the fish to his wife to eat and that two sons would be born to her on that day, nine months and they were to be called Donn Mac Difre and Dubh Mac Difre.
