'And it tells ye truth, agrah; but it's a fine beast, and it's a pity to see him in such a state: Is agam an't leigeas' and here he uttered another word in a voice singularly modified, but sweet and almost plaintive; the effect of it was as instantaneous as that of the other, but how different! the animal lost all its fury, and became at once calm and gentle.
The effect upon myself was somewhat extraordinary, a strange thrill ran through me; but with regard to the cob it was terrible; the animal forthwith became like one mad, and reared and kicked with the utmost desperation. "Can you do that, agrah?" said the smith. "What is it?" said I, retreating, "I never saw the horse so before."
The smith went up to it, coaxed and patted it, making use of various sounds of equal endearment; then turning to me, and holding out once more the grimy hand, he said: "And now ye will be giving me the Sassanach tenpence, agrah?" From the wild scenes which I have attempted to describe in the latter pages I must now transport the reader to others of a widely different character.
'Over a wall, and what more, agrah? 'Nothing more, said I; 'what more would you have? 'Can you do this, agrah? said the smith; and he uttered a word which I had never heard before, in a sharp pungent tone.
'Are ye not afraid of that beast? said the smith, showing his fang. 'Arrah, it's vicious that he looks! 'It's at you, then! I don't fear him'; and thereupon I passed under the horse, between its hind legs. 'And is that all you can do, agrah? said the smith. 'No, said I, 'I can ride him. 'Ye can ride him, and what else, agrah? 'I can leap him over a six-foot wall, said I.
The potato was among the first articles of my food in my native paradise, and the recollection of it awakened associations which softened me towards the poor, hospitable creature who presented it. Still I hesitated, till he said, "Take it, Miss, and a thousand welcomes, take it, agrah, from poor Pat."
I'm not goin' in sickness an' misery, as I wint afore, to see a man that wouldn't hear my appale to him; an' I'm lavin' you comfortable, agrah, an' wantin' for nothin'. Sure it's only about five-an'-twenty miles from this a mere step. The good God bless an' take care of you, my darlin' wife, till I come home to you!"
Denis, avick machree! avick machree!* your hand was dreaded, and a good right it had, for it was the manly hand, that was ever and always raised in defence of them that wanted a friend; abroad, in the faction-fight, against the oppressor, your name was ever feared, acushla? but at home at home where was your fellow Denis, agrah, do you know the lips that's spaking to you? your young bride your heart's light Oh!
‘Go between his legs, agrah,’ said the smith, ‘his hinder legs’; and he again showed his fang. ‘I dare not,’ said I, ‘he would kill me.’ ‘He would kill ye! and how do ye know that, agrah?’ ‘I feel he would,’ said I, ‘something tells me so.’
I remimber the day you war married to me like yesterday. Oh! avourneen, then and since wasn't the heart of your own Honor bound up in you yet not a word even to me. Well, agrah, machree, 'tisn't your fault, it's the first time you ever refused to spake to your own Honor.
