   Once upon a time there lived a young couple and the woman was taken away with the fairies. The man went to a man that could bring back people. The man told him to go to a certain crossroads on a certain night at midnight and he added: - "First let by the blaney black, And then let by the fiery brown Then comes on the milkwhite steed And pull the rider down".
