* '''evergreen''' * '''skyup is of evergrey''' &rarr; the fourth province, Connacht, which is the wettest and greyest of Irelands five fifths &rarr; this phrase represents the season of autumn as well as the province of Connacht ==Commentary== <blockquote>''skyup is of evergrey;''</blockquote> This phrase identifies the fourth of Ireland's "five fifths" or provinces, Connacht. Ireland has only four provinces today &ndash; Ulster, Munster, Leinster and Connacht &ndash; but in the early Christian centuries there were five provinces or fifths, the Middle Irish word ''coiced'' (Modern Irish: ''cúigiú'') meaning both ''fifth'' and ''province''. The fifth province was the royal province that included Tara, the seat of the High Kings of Ireland. It corresponds roughly to the modern counties of Meath, Westmeath and Longford, with parts of Dublin, Offaly and Louth, all of which are now considered to be part of Leinster.
