   In the Green fields convenient vast herds are seen grazing Swift horses for racing and running of course The Cuckoo each morning and the song birds - then warbling In the South Sunny border of Sweet Shehy More. The Parish all round it with Patterns are crowded, Such a grand train of Ladies I ne'er saw before Millstreet lasses, Killcome (?) dashes, Ballinagree, Suskamus and from Domnal Mór The Clondrohid Maidens, I attest were the fairest In grandeur their equal I didn't behold They admired all the strangers They were so engaging Last St Johns day at Swee Shehy Mór. Níl sé RÓ CINNTE cé dhein ach deirtear gurabh "Farrel the Rake," do dhein.

   Foot Note:-

   My little school is very small. The average being only 14. My Collectors therefore numbered only 3 (three). But we four did our best. I trust any little errors will be overlooked in spelling, punctuation - But all the stuff in this little Book has COME THROUGH THE MOUTHS of the People.
