So you were saying, boys? Anyhow he what?3|
So anyhow after that to wind up that long to be chronicled get together day |3at Glenfinnisk-en-la-Valle3|, the anniversary of his first holy communion, after that same barbecue beanfeast was all over poor
old hospitable King Roderick O'Conor, the paramount chief polemarch and last preelectric king of all Ireland who was anything you say yourself between fiftyfour and fiftyfive years of age at the time after the socalled last
|3'|~free~|3'| supper he greatly gave those maltknights and beerchurls in his umbrageous house of the hundred bottles or at least he wasn't actually the then last king of all Ireland for the time being for
the jolly good reason that he was still such as he was the eminent king of all Ireland himself after the last preeminent king of all Ireland, the whilom joky old top that went before him |3'|~in the
dienasty~|3'| King Art MacMurrough Kavanagh of the leather leggings, now of parts unknown, God guard his generous soul that put a poached fowl in the poor man's pot before he took to his pallyass with the weeping eczema for better and worse until he went
|3and died under the grass quilt on usº3| nevertheless the year the sugar was scarce
|3|xand weº to lather and shave and frizzle himº like a bald surging
buoyºx|3| and himself down to three cows that was meat and drink and dogs and washing to him, 'tis good cause we have to remember it, |3going through
|asummersultryngs ofa| snow and sleet withº the widow Nolan's goat and the Brownes girls
neats,º3| anyhow wait till I tell you what did he do poor old Roderick O'Conor Rex, the auspicious waterproof monarch of all Ireland when he found himself all alone by himself in his grand old historic pile after all of them had all gone off with themselves
|3to their castles of
{f39, 381}
mud3| as best they could on footback |3owing to the leak ofº McCarthy's mare3| in extended order a
tree's length from the longest way out down the switchbackward road, the unimportant Parthalonians with the mouldy Firbolgs and the Tuatha de Danaan googs |3and the ramblers from Clane3| and all the rest
of the notmuchers and other slygrogging suburbanites that he didn't care the royal spit out of his
{f10, 295}
ostensible mouth about well what do you think he did, sir, but faix he just went heeltapping through the winespilth and weevily popcorks that were kneedeep round his own right royal round rollicking topers' table with his old Roderick Random pullon hat at a
|3Lanty Leary3| cant on him |3|aandº Mike
Brady's shirt and |bhis green Greene'sb| linnet socks collarbow and his ghenter's gaunts and his
Macclefield's swasha| and his readymade Reillys |aand his panprestuberian ponchoºa|3|, the body you'd pity him, the way the world is, poor he, the heart of Midleinster and the supereminent
lord of them all, overwhelmed as he was with black ruin like a sponge out of water |3allocutioningº in bellcantes McGuiney'sº
Dreans of Ergen Adams3| and |3singing
thrummingº through3| all to himself |3with diversed
tonguesed3| through his old tears |3and his ould plaised drawl3| starkened by the most regal

|3what the Irish, boys, can do3| if he didn't |3goº
sliggymaglooralº reemyround and3| suck up sure enough like a Trojan in some particular cases with the assistance of his venerated tongue whatever surplus rotgut sorra much was left by the lazy lousers in the different bottoms of the various
different replenquished drinking utensils left there behind them on the premises by |3the that whole hogsheaded firkin family ofº3| departed honourable homegoers

Phoenix brewery stout it was or John Jameson and Sons or Roob Coccola or for the matter of that O'Connell's famous old Dublin ale that he wanted like hell as a fallback of several different quantities and qualities amounting in all to I should say considerably more than the better part of a gill or naggin of imperial dry and liquid measure
