* A brave man. He was a man of huge size and prodigious strength, and died in consequence of an injury he received in lifting one of the cathedral bells at Clogher, which is said to be ten hundredweight. “'How do you like that, Farrell?' Neal would say, giving him a cuff--'and that, and that; but that is best of all. Take it again, gudgeon (two cuffs more)--here's grist for you (half a dozen additional)--hard fortune to you! (crack, crack.) What! going to lie down!--by all that's terrible, if you do, I'll annigulate* you! Here's a dhuragh,** (another half dozen)--long measure, you savage!--the baker's dozen, you baste!--there's five-an'-twenty to the score, Sampson! and one or two in' (crack, whack). * Annihilate--Many of the jawbreakers--and this was one in a double sense--used by the hedge-schoolmasters, are scattered among the people, by whom they were so twisted that it would be extremely difficult to recognize them. ** Dhuragh--An additional portion of anything thrown in from a spirit of generosity, after the Measure agreed on is given. When the miller, for instance, receives his toll, the country-people usually throw in several handfuls of meal as a Dhuragh. “'Oh! murther sheery!' shouted the miller. 'Murther-an-age, I'm kilt! Foul play!--foul play!' “'You lie, big Nebuchodonosor! it's not--this is all fair play, you big baste! Fair play, Sampson!--by the same a-token, here's to jog your memory that it's the Fair day of Knockimdowny! Irish Fair play, you whale! But I'll whale you' (crack, crack, whack). “'Oh! oh!' shouted the miller. “'Oh! oh! is it? Oh, if I had my scissors here till I'd clip your ears off--wouldn't I be the happy man, any how, you swab, you?' (whack, whack, crack). “'Murther! murther! murther!' shouted the miller. 'Is there no help?' “'Help, is it?--you may say that (crack crack): there's a trifle--a small taste in the milling style, you know; and here goes to dislodge a grinder. Did ye ever hear of the tailor on horseback, Sampson? eh? (whack, whack). Did you ever expect to see a tailor on horseback of yourself, you baste? (crack). I tell you, if you offer to lie down, I'll annigulate you out o' the face.'
