- CRAZY JANE ON THE MOUNTAIN
-
- I AM tired of cursing the Bishop,
- (Said Crazy Jane)
- Nine books or nine hats
- Would not make him a man.
- I have found something worse
- To meditate on.
- A King had some beautiful cousins.
- But where are they gone?
- Battered to death in a cellar,
- And he stuck to his throne.
- Last night I lay on the mountain.
- (Said Crazy Jane)
- There in a two-horsed carriage
- That on two wheels ran
- Great-bladdered Emer sat.
- Her violent man
- Cuchulain sat at her side;
- Thereupon'
- Propped upon my two knees,
- I kissed a stone
- I lay stretched out in the dirt
- And I cried tears down.
