BLIND MAN.

This is a man has love to God,

Opening his hand to give out food;

Better a small house filled with wheat,

Than a big house that's bare of meat.

OLD FARMER. _Maisead_, long life to you, Raftery.

BLIND MAN. Are you there, boy?

BOY. I am.

BLIND MAN. I hear more wheels coming. Go out, and tell the

people Raftery will let no person come in here without a present for the

woman of the house.
