    With tempting bribes and spies not few
    Leamlara once was haunted
    To faith and county ever true
    A Standish neer was daunted
    The rustic Bridge now marks the spot
    Where once the great De Barra
    One evening fair on his Black Mare
    Leaped clear, into Leamlara
    The foregoing poem is written in praise of The Barrys of Leamlara
    Note:-
    I'd respectfully ask you to ask Martin Corry T.D. if this poem of praise is deserved
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
