- (continued from previous page)Some people talk of drives and walks,
But it would be worth your while
To come and see how they're kept here
I mean in first rate style
The pleasure ground so neatly bound
All round with iron strong
With flygate there at every square
As young ladies pass along.
The fox and hare from far and near
They come for shelter there,
And all 'red coats' from Louth to Howth
For Platten 'meet' prepare.
When reynard breaks for Hilltown lakes
He'll cross the deerpark wall,
Its out of sight they all take flight
And away from Platten Hall. (The late) Mathew Lynch
Platten Hall

Got from , Thomas McCormack, Donore, Drogheda, who is a grandson of the late Matthew Lynch.
