164 NORTHERN MEMOIRS. 



solicitations from this honourable person) I pur- 

 sued my first intention ; so brought off my lines, 

 and left the Lough in a foming rage ; and now 

 you shall hear what hapned on shore. Not far 

 from this Lough stood a small mountain, where- 

 on some inhabitants had built a kiln ; to which 

 place we directed a servant for fire, that pre- 

 sently brought it ; but we hardly knew the use 

 on't before the kiln was all in flames, ajid burnt 

 so vehemently, that in a short space the whole 

 fabrick was consum'd and burnt down to the 

 ground : So I left my recreation, and took my 

 leave of the unfortunate Pitloil. 



And now give me leave to return to Drum- 

 kelbo-castle, and tho but ill contrived, and as ill 

 situated, in regard it stands near to the moor of 

 Tipprofin ; yet not far from thence are the flou- 

 rishing fields of Mighill, beautified and adorned 

 with stately sycomores ; as are her meadows sur- 

 rounded with rivers and rivulets. In the midst 

 of whose plains stands a parochial church, where- 

 in lies interr'd the royal corps of King Arthur's 

 consort ; with the reliques of some other wea- 

 ther-beaten monuments that age has almost blot- 

 ted out ; but the queen's tomb, I observed, was 

 surrounded with martialists, that when living 

 so, in death paid homage at her princely sepul- 

 chre.
