  1. (no title) (continued)

    Ere last night I received a letter of an old hag's death.

    (continued from previous page)
    he bounced and began to bark at me
    The dog was followed by four old pensioners that had lost their heads and arms in the battle of Waterloo. I thought I could run as good as any of them so I put my two shinbones in my pockets, my head under bogs of buttermilk and bog holes of stirabout with great wonder in my mouth till I reached the Curragh of Kildare.
