    (continued from previous page)
    And if you ask him about the ditches he will tell you how he spent the day,
    So now to conclude and finish up and let ye all to know,
    The destruction this road has made and how it robbed
    John Casserly in the way did it run,
    When the land Commission came to map it out,
    He willingly gave consent and now he sees his error and sorely he repents,
    Now I want to let ye all know the appearance this road will have when the shelter plots are grown,
    They are planted in every corner from the river to the road
    And the passers by will wonder at the Clooneybrannon grove.
