Side 100 - A story I heard on the cliffs of the west, That oft through the breakers dividing, A city is seen on the ocean's wild breast In turreted majesty riding. But brief is the glimpse of that phantom so bright, Soon close the white waters to screen it, And the bodement, they say, of the wonderful sight, Is death to the eyes that have seen it.
Side 196 - There is a choleric or disdainful interjection used in the Irish language called Boagh, which is as much in English as twish. The Irish both in ancient times and to this day commonly use it, and therefore the English conquerors called them Irish poghes, or pogh Morice. Which taunting term is at this day very wrongfully ascribed to them of the English pale.
