III. GROVES OF BLARNEY.

The groves of Blarney they are most charming—
Blarnæi nemora sunt jucundissima visu.

'Tis lady Jeffries, that owns this station,
Like Alexander or Helen fair;
There is no lady in all the nation
For emulation can with her compare.
She has castles round her, that no nine-pounder
Can dare to plunder her place of strength,
But Oliver Cromwell he did her pummel,
And made a hole in her battlement.
