- Long ago there came a poet to Heathfield whose name was McCabe.
He was a very good poet. He was a great singer and musician as well, and used to play beautiful Irish airs on the flute. People often waited up until one or two o'clock in the night, listening to his grand music.
He had power to banish rats as well. He used to play certain music to banish them. That was one great thing he could do.
