old ballad to this effect.
"An as they (soldiers) came down the glen they met a youngster & the Captain cried out "Did you see Holt & his men"

told Tom this story of Dwyer - )
Dwyer went into Baltinglass
one day to see some kind of
garrison walls they were after
building & as he was facing
for home again he met two
soldiers that were after chasing
him hotly after M'Allister was
shot - and they were [linking?]
two girls & he made some joke
upon them & whatever they said
