"And sure it is yet a most beautifull and sweete countrey as any is under
heaven, being stored throughout with many goodly rivers, replenished with
all sorts of fish most abundantly, sprinkled with many very sweet islands
and goodly lakes, like little inland seas, that will even carry shippes upon
their waters."-Spenser's State of Ireland, 1596.
