(VII)He has a tender indulgent agent,
Who will not crush or oppress the poor,
The tenants property he will not seize on,
Till they can with ease the rent procure,
They're not tormented by prowling bailiffs,
Or best depraved pretty foreign tools,
The mean descendents of vulgar parents,
Matured and reared in corrupt schools.
(VIII)These lines are void of exaggeration
To fulsome praises I ne'er was prone,
I hate gross, vulgar adulation
I did not kiss the smooth Blarney Stone.
I've travelled, roved all o'er this Irish Nation,
In all it's bearings from shore to shore,
And to New Forest I saw none to equal
Brave Dawson's Seat and I'll say no more.
