- John Glavin 14 Inchinanaugh got this poem from his father Wm Glavin aged 60.
(1)All you that are prone to sport and to pleasure
Come roam by the sweet Bride's side
Tis there you will be amused by the youths when collected
No grief there to trouble their minds
Where the fifers and fiddlers with pleasure do play
And the song birds do tune their sweet notes on each tree
Joining in each chorus in praises all the day
of the lovely sweet banks of the Bride.
(II)Tis down by charming Glenville and Peet Driscoll's inn
The water do gently glide
Where numbers in coaches cross over Keame Bridge
With a sporting laugh and a smile
Where the trout and the salmon do jump with joy
And the long snouted otter do gently dive
The flat fish and eel no closer can lie
By the lovely sweet banks of the Bride(continues on next page)- Collector
