“Galway is a blackguard place,
To Cork I give my curse,
Tralee is bad enough,
But Limerick is worse.
Which is worst I cannot tell,
Theyre everyone so filthy,
But of the towns which I have seen
Worst luck to Clonakilty.”

Counsel not with flesh and blood;
Loiter not for cloak or food;
Right thou feelest, rush to do.”
