In the open air!"
Mr. Maloney, in his late account of the "palace made o' windows," has evidently had these verses in his mind; and in his observations on the "statues gracing that noble place in," has adverted to their like peculiar predicament with the characteristic modesty of his nation.

On this subject permit me to observe that a change has "come o'er the spirit of its dream." A later poet, in celebrating the praises of the lake as the only place unchanged, says:
"Sweet Blarney Castle, that was wanst so ancient,
Is gone to ruin, och! and waste, and bare
Neptune and Plutarch is by Mrs. Deane[3] sent
To Ballintemple, to watch praties there."
