I have not been to school for nothing; not I. The English call c-l-e-r-k, clark; and c-u-c-u-m-b-e-r, cowcumber; and a-n-g-e-l, aingel; and no reasoning can convince me that's right. I've got a string of words of this sort, that they pronounce out of all reason, that's as long as a pair of leading-lines, or a ship's tiller-rope.
I taught on the general system, all sorts of things in the edication way; and had one of my scholars made such a blunder as to say 'clark, or 'aingel, or 'harth, or 'cowcumber, he wouldn't have heard the last of it, for that week, at least. But I despise an Englishman from the very bottom of my soul; for heart isn't deep enough for my feelings."
Soon the poets did not limit themselves to end-rhymes, which ran the risk of becoming monotonous, but introduced also internal rhyme, which set up what we may call a continuous chain of melody: is aire caraim DOIRE ar a reidhe ar a ghlOINE 's ar iomad a aingel fIND ó 'n CIND go aoich arOILE.
