- (continued from previous page)There are fine horses and stall-fed oxen.
A den for foxes to play and hide
Fine mares for breeding and foreign sheep in
And snowy fleeces in every side.

The buck and doe the fox and eagle
They skip and play buy the river-side
The trout and salmon play in Bagannon
In the clear waters of Castle Hyde.
There are fine walks in these pleasant gardens
With seats most charming in shady bowers
And at Glendar both bold and daring
Stands night and morning to watch the flowers
The richest grasses throughout the nation
The fine plantation you would see there.
There is no valley throughout the nation
With it for beauty can compare.

If noble princes from foreign places
By chance should stray to the Irish shore
'Tis on this valley they would be feasted
As heroes often were before.
There's a church for service in this fine station
Where nobles often in coaches ride
For to view the groves and meadows charming
That fronts the gardens in Castle Hyde.(continues on next page)
