   úd go láidir igcoinnibh na "Soupers." TADHG Ó BODHLÉIR Fear léigheannta dob'eadh Tomás abhí ag muineadh scoile amuigh i bhFaill Mhóir. Bhí an fhilíocht aige ó dúthchais. Chum sé an-chuid inGaedhilg agus inBeurla. Cé go raibh an Gaedhilg ar fheabhas aige níor fhéad sé í scríobhadh agus b'éigin do dá bhrigh sin, duine éigint go raibh scríobhadh na Gaedhilge aige d'fhágailt cun an fhilíocht do scríobhadh síos dó. Seo thíos ceann des na h-amhraín a chum sé imBeurla:- The Filemore Hounds Ye lads and lasses gay, and ye with sporting faces If ye live until next year, ye will not forget the races Such races we will have, though not with whip or saddle And none of you will say its all a fiddle-faddle Chorus Filemore is the place, for merry sports and singing Chief among them all, is our charming beagle hunting. (2) A drag-hunt we will have, swift horses and prime riders Gentle men will be there, to wield their swords and snipers If a single gent should fall we should all feel very sorry For a sign it is most true, that year he will not marry. (Chorus) (3) Around the course they will go but who shall stand the echo From Carhan hills above, to the mountains of Kilmego Valentia will resound, Dingle will be shaken Kenmare will hear the shock and Killorglin will awaken. (Chorus)
