I WAS JUST PASSING THE TIME OF DAY WITH OLD TROY O THE D。M。P。 at the corner of Arbour hill there and be damned but a bloody sweep came along and he near drove his gear into my eye。 I turned around to let him have the weight of my tongue when who should I see dodging along Stony Batter only Joe Hynes。
Lo； Joe； says I。 How are you blowing？ Did you see that bloody chimneysweep near shove my eye out with his brush？
Soot's luck； says Joe。 Who's the old ballocks you were talking to？
Old Troy； says I； was in the force。 I'm on two minds not to give that fellow in charge for obstructing the thoroughfare with his brooms and ladders。
What are you doing round those parts？ says Joe。
Devil a much； says I。 There is a bloody big foxy thief beyond by the garrison church at the corner of Chicken Lane … old Troy was just giving me a wrinkle about him … lifted any God's quantity of tea and sugar to pay three bob a week said he had a farm in the county Down off a hop of my thumb by the name of Moses Herzog over there near Heytesbury street。
Circumcised！ says Joe。
Ay； says I。 A bit off the top。 An old plumber named Geraghty。 I'm hanging on to his taw now for the past fortnight and I can't get a penny out of him。
That the lay you're on now？ says Joe。
Ay； says I 。 How are the mighty fallen！ Collector of bad and doubtful debts。 But that's the most notorious bloody robber you'd meet in a day's walk and the face on him all pockmarks would hold a shower of rain。 Tell him； says he； I dare him； says he； and I doubledare him to send you round here again or if he does； says he； I'll have him summonsed up before the court； so will I； for trading without a licence。 And he after stuffing himself till he's fit to burst！ Jesus； I had to laugh at the little jewy getting his shirt out。 He drink me my teas。 He eat me my sugars。 Because he no pay me my moneys？

Not a word； says Joe。 I was up at that meeting in the City Arms。
What was that； Joe？ says I。
Cattle traders； says Joe； about the foot and mouth disease。 I want to give the citizen the hard word about it。
So we went around by the Linenhall barracks and the back of the courthouse talking of one thing or another。 Decent fellow Joe when he has it but sure like that he never has it。 Jesus； I couldn't get over that bloody foxy Geraghty； the daylight robber。 For trading without a licence； says he。
In Inisfail the fair there lies a land； the land of holy Michan。 There rises a watchtower beheld of men afar。 There sleep the mighty dead as in life they slept； warriors and princes of high renown。 A pleasant land it is in sooth of murmuring waters； fishful streams where sport the gunnard； the plaice； the roach； the halibut； the gibbed haddock； the grilse； the dab； the brill； the flounder； the mixed coarse fish generally and other denizens of the aqueous kingdom too numerous to be enumerated。 In the mild breezes of the west and of the east the lofty trees wave in different directions their first class foliage； the wafty sycamore； the Lebanonian cedar； the exalted planetree； the eugenic eucalyptus and other ornaments of the arboreal world with which that region is thoroughly well supplied。 Lovely maidens sit in close proximity to the roots of the lovely trees singing the most lovely songs while they play with all kinds of lovely objects as for example golden ingots； silvery fishes； crans of herrings； drafts of eels； codlings； creels of fingerlings； purple seagems and playful insects。 And heroes voyage from afar to woo them； from Elbana to Slievemargy； the peerless princes of unfettered Munster and of Connacht the just and of smooth sleek Leinster and of Cruachan's land and of Armagh the splendid and of the noble district of Boyle； princes； the sons of kings。
And there rises a shining palace whose crystal glittering roof is seen by mariners who traverse the extensive sea in barks built expressly for that purpose and thither e all herds and fatlings and first fruits of that land for O'Connell Fitzsimon takes toll of them； a chieftain descended from chieftains。 Thither the extremely large wains bring foison of the fields； flaskets of cauliflowers； floats of spinach； pineapple chunks； Rangoon beans； strikes of tomatoes； drums of figs； drills of Swedes； spherical potatoes and tallies of iridescent kale； York and Savoy； and trays of onions； pearls of the earth； and punnets of mushrooms and custard marrows and fat vetches and bere and rape and red green yellow brown russet sweet big bitter ripe pomellated apples and chips of strawberries and sieves of gooseberries； pulpy and pe
