    (III) Cont.
    Flocked from each nation to take its plan
    Of the nine muses, Apollo, Cupid
    The urge (?) of Juno cam here to know
    Trees producing such fragrant fruitage
    And the Phoenin (?) turning her slender drone

    (IV)
    In this fair mansion lives Lady Harbert,
    Who relieves the wants of the poor and low
    Of the sick who languish in piercing anguish
    Of wretched orphans immersed in woe.
    Her princely race in a line we trace
    In this famed island by conquest swayed
    Around Killarney with her fair armies
    There is ample acquisition made.
