  1. (continued from previous page)
    Is well worthy of esteem
    And with poetic beauties
    Abundantly doth teem
    Commands a view of sweet Tervoe
    And Limerick's ship-crowned dock
    While the lordly Shannon sweeps below
    The base of Carrig's rock
    From its lofty top no objects stop
    Your view for miles around
    Where nature's lavish beauties
    Luxuriantly abound
    The meadows green below are seen
    And the rich and roaming stock
    Where the Maigue's deep bed a silver thread
    Flows on by Carrig Rock.
    Its scenery you'd love to see
    On a summer evening fair
    When the golden sun sinks down to rest
    On Shannon's bosom fair
    It's covers teem with various game
    The pheasant, hare and cock
    And rabbits quick are very thick
    Round Carrig's stately rock
    Contd.
