  1. Long ago thieves went about stealing cows and sheep. One bright night a man was coming down Aughaderrin with two heifers which he had stolen at Ballyhaunis fair. He was about to turn at the crossroad leading to Lisacul where a large bush grows when out of this strange and solitary bush a voice spoke aloud, locfar, locfar, locfar, Ceárd íocfas ar san gadaidhe. An glór arís - mac do mic. If revenge is let that far it is alright. Ocho nó ar sa gé bhí ar deireadd, sil mé índhé gur mé bé coiseach.
    Is deas é óige an té a coingeas mar bá coír é
