- (continued from previous page)of poor Co Cavan,
And in the townland of famed
Mullamagavan.
A cold dreary mountain, unfertile and bare,
The haunt of the wild-goose,
the snipe and the hare,
The only protection of this

Except; where reclaimed by
the tenants hard toil.
And now you may ask "do

Oer that above Griffiths full

Screwed out by the terrors of

Or the late got up style of a

This miraculous monster with
conscience well steeled,
Neither threats nor entreaty's(continues on next page)- Collector
