- (continued from previous page)Beyond the lofty mountain's crest,
The hounds no longer will molest
The hunted stag, he'll safely rest
By Muskery's lovely lake,
Three mountain summits round it lie;
Farbreagan Gallybeg, more high
Is Green [?] peak, so steep and high
O'er which the fierce storms break.Near Shanbally Castle he seems to wait;
What causes him to hesitate,
Or dreads he that some gloomy fate
Awaits him over there?
Take either road, he's just between
Cloheen town and Ballyporeen,
Where frightful ghosts were often seen,
And never failed to scare,But he knew his friend was very low,
For priest and doctor he must go;
'Twas three good miles from Carriganroe,
And the hour was very late;
So he kept on at his fastest pace,
And when he had almost won the race
He met the demon face to face
Before the pastor's gate.(continues on next page)
