riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend		1
of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to		2
Howth Castle and Environs.		3
Sir Tristram, violer d'amores, fr'over the short sea, had passen-		4
core rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy		5
isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor		6
had topsawyer's rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse		7
to Laurens County's gorgios while they went doublin their mumper		8
all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to		9

The fall (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonner-		15

on life down through all christian minstrelsy. The great fall of the		18
offwall entailed at such short notice the pftjschute of Finnegan,		19
erse solid man, that the humptyhillhead of humself prumptly sends		20
an unquiring one well to the west in quest of his tumptytumtoes:		21
and their upturnpikepointandplace is at the knock out in the park		22
