- (continued from previous page)To poul - a ceol I would drive full soon
To clear the mirror of my darkened genius
In describing these without any boon.
6.
But with a hand unsteady and mind benighted.
And void of talent just half its due
I cannot give Barna its lawful praises
Therefore dont blame the poor bard to get through
Farewell sweet Barna, thy dells and valleys
Crystal streams and green mountain-sides
Shall I were forget thy enchanting beauty
And the fog and dew that now o'er thee ride.A man sitting in a three legged stool with a leg of mutton on his lap. A dog came in, snatched the leg of mutton and ran out with it. The man jumped up, caught the three legged stool and threw it after the dog, and got back the leg of mutton. What are all the world doing at the same time?
(breathing or growing old)Did you ever see half a pig's head with two eyes?
Yes, with my own two eyes.
