“In the year nineteen hundred and nine an old poet or bard as he wished to style himself was travelling this side of the country.”
(continued from previous page)following lines :-
According to custom, and according to rules
A bard at this cottage, was treated like fools
Too grand to admit him, too proud for to hear
Clapped the door against his nostrels, was something severe
Afraid to admit him, as old Gaitly said
The door must be closed as the cash was hard made.
Travelling to markets and fairs far away
Poor Hughie made money so Gaitly did say
Dont think said this woman that you can come in
To speak to the sister of proud Hughie Finn
Because this grand woman distains the young men
So keep away over from the house of Hugh Finn

“Once upon a time there lived a man in the parish of Mullagh.”
