- Assist me you Helicon Muses.
Once more Im invoking your aid,
Yield to grant me your infusions
In praise if a lofty cascade.
You'll find there's no almanac or author
The state of the weather can show.
More clear than the echo of this water.
When storm approaches to blow.Its precipice formed by nature
Is vulgarly called Pullinass
Most beautiful high decorated
Between the Scutch Mill and Greaghglass.Its cavern round it are planted.
With alder, ash, oak and fir deal.
Courters do frequently haunt it
In silence their love to reveal
The murmuring rill of this water
With an echo descends the cascade
And leaves lovers unfound by their parents
Sequestered in underwood shade.In summer to view it is pleasing
When nature her gifts yield to bloom
Spontaneously all decorated
The fruits and the flowers' perfume(continues on next page)
