p.38


[1](javascript:footNote('E840000-012/note001.html'))[2](javascript:footNote('E840000-012/note002.html'))1. I found in Innisfail the fair,
  
In Ireland while in exile there,
  
Women of worth, both grave and gay men,
  
Many clerics and many laymen.

p.39

4. I travelled its fruitful provinces round,
  
And in every one of the five[3](javascript:footNote('E840000-012/note003.html')) I found,
  
Alike in church, and in palace hall,
  
Abundant apparel and food for all.
5. Gold and silver I found, and money,
  
Plenty of wheat and plenty of honey;
  
I found God's people rich in pity,
  
Found many a feast and many a city.
6. I also found in Armagh the splendid,
  
Meekness, wisdom, and prudence blended,
  
Fasting as Christ hath recommended,
  
And noble councillors untranscended.
7. I found in each great church, moreo'er,
  
Whether on island or on shore,
  
Piety, learning, fond affection,
  
Holy welcome and kind protection.
8. I found the good lay monks and brothers
  
Ever beseeching help for others,
  
And in their keeping the holy word
  
Pure as it came from Jesus the Lord.
9. I found in Munster unfettered of any,
  
Kings, and queens, and poets a many—
  
Poets well skilled in music and measure,
  
Prosperous doings, mirth and pleasure.

12. I found in Connaught the just, redundance
  
Of riches, milk in lavish abundance,
  
Hospitality, vigour, fame,
  
In Cruachan's[4](javascript:footNote('E840000-012/note004.html')) land of heroic name.
13. I found in the country of Connall[5](javascript:footNote('E840000-012/note005.html')) the glorious,
  
Bravest heroes, ever victorious;
  
Fair-complexioned men and warlike,
  
Ireland's lights, the high, the starlike!
14. I found in Ulster, from hill to glen,
  
Hardy warriors, resolute men;
  
Beauty that bloomed when youth was gone,
  
And strength transmitted from sire to son.
15. I found in the noble district of Boyle,
  
[6](javascript:footNote('E840000-012/note006.html'))
  
Brehons, Erenachs[7](javascript:footNote('E840000-012/note007.html')), weapons bright,
  
And horsemen bold and sudden in fight.
16. I found in Leinster the smooth and sleek,
  
From Dublin to Slewmargy[8](javascript:footNote('E840000-012/note008.html'))'s peak;
  
Flourishing pastures, valour, health,
  
Long-living worthies, commerce, wealth.
17. I found, besides, from Ara to Glea,
  
In the broad rich country of Ossorie,
  
Sweet fruits, good laws for all and each,
  
Great chess-players, men of truthful speech.

p.41

20. I found in Meath's fair principality,
  
Virtue, vigour, and hospitality;
  
Candour, joyfulness, bravery, purity,
  
Ireland's bulwark and security.
21. I found strict morals in age and youth,
  
I found historians recording truth;
  
The things I sing of in verse unsmooth,
  
I found them all—I have written sooth.[9](javascript:footNote('E840000-012/note009.html'))
