But down to Mass we passed the gate,

And passed it, too, returning,

And hid away in mien sedate

The grievance in us burning.

But in the Old Mass Shandrydan—

Well, envy little varies—

We heard “herself” and her good man

Discourse about the Careys:

“Wisha, that big house of Carey’s with its power of fal-de-daries.”

“Faith, he’s in the bank to build it, so I hear the people say.”
