    (continued from previous page)
    put this Penance on her; not to dare return to her old haunts till she had every grain of sand on the Red strand by the Galley head shifted to the Red Sea on her back, and she was never seen around Lyre or Ballycummer since.
    Máire sang this verse;
    When the Devil was sick,
    The Devil a monk would be
    When the Devil was well,
    The Devil a monk was he.
