- (continued from previous page)Some lords and ladies from foreign places
For recreation to here do come
To view this sportsman with admiration
The fields are beaten with dog and gun
To view the swan on the lake proceeding
The ducks and geese are both tame and wild
The wood-cocks ranging and moor-hens shading
Along the banks of the Little Nile.The sons of Vulcan with skill and genius
By lofty sea crags are working nigh
To join the choir with acclamation
Invite all stranger as they pass by.
The Royal Mail is here passing daily
And always leaves for to peruse
Some letters pleasing of information -
Besides he pays for the daily news.The Weekly Journal and Dublin Gazettes
Amongst his neighbours he still divides
Lest Grania's sons should be caught in slumber
Or over-burdened with cess or thithes
- - - -
A brief description of this great hero
I mean in full to let his neighbours know
Like his famed ancestors pregenerated
In blood related to Brian Boru.(continues on next page)
