   Mr Towsend was the landlord of Bridgemount. He lived in Gurrane, where Patrick Casey is living now. It was he that called Catairgeegane, Bridgemount. Once when Mr. Towsend was dead three or four years, there were two men stealing a tree from the wood and they saw Mr. Towsend crossed legs up in the tree and he told them not to take the tree but they took it in spite of him.

   1 Is fearr bean ná spré mar imthigheann an spré leis an faill agus fanann ar an breall ar an mnaoí.
   2 Ní sé am na cnadaí am na tháirighe
   3 Is maith an tomándhaí an té a bhíonn ar an gclaidhe.
   4 Droch bhuachaill cos lúath um tráthnóna.
   5 An té is túaisge ann a fillín is da gillean is teoiche.
   6 Is mó dial droch mná-tighe da cuid droch bláthaigh féin
   7 Do dona Séarlus is measa g'a éagmhais
   8 Is mó a tort ná a thairbhe. Gidh fada lá tig oidhche
   Ná téid níos faide ná do acmninne
   10 Is fusa rádh na dhéanad. Is lúáth beatha an duine.
