| And if you were a year there you would get no rest only sitting up at night and forever drinking The lamb and the sheep are there the cow and the calf are there fine lands are there without heath and without bog Ploughing seed sowing in the right month plough and harrow prepared and ready the rent that is called for there they have means to pay it There is oats and flax large eared barley There are beautiful valleys with good growth in them and hay Rods grow there and bushes and tufts white fields are there and respect for trees shade and shelter from wind and rain priests and friars reading their book spending and getting is there and nothing scarce | B |

| I leave it in my will that my heart rises as the wind rises and as the fog scatters when I think upon Carra and the two towns below it on the two mile bush and on the plains of Mayo And if I were standing in the middle of my people age would go from me and I would be young again | C |
