    (continued from previous page)
    See Fane and Nagun, and his friend the "Breac Corrig,"
    Grace the grand coronation of "Corrig-mo Clear."
    What a blending of colours twixt moon, sky and mountain:
    The pearl, the azure and the purple combined.
    I doubt that in searching thro' the city's tumultuous whirl;
    Their gods are not mine, and I envy them not.
    Sufficient for me of that great world of fashion
    To learn all that books and the press have to say,
    While contented I live the free life of the peasant
    Thanking God for the good things he strews in my way.
