EPIGRAMS BY CAROLAN.

_On Friars_.

WOULD'ST thou on good terms with friars live,

Ever be humble and admiring;

All they ask of thee freely give,

And in return be nought requiring.

_On a Surly Butler_,

_who had refused him admission to the cellar_.

O Dermod Flynn, it grieveth me

Thou keepest not Hell's portal;

As long as thou should'st porter be,

Thou would'st admit no mortal.
