- Riobárd Bheldon : "Poet of the Comeragh's" whose life has been written and poems collected.The following poem was written by him in English :Glen Mahon
How pleasant to roam on a fine afternoon
When heath-bells are dancing and wild thyme in bloom
Where cascades are falling as loud in their roar
As first when I saw them in the old days of yoreO lovliest of valleys none can excel thee
Where Mahon's dark waters run fiercely and free
Where the fox and the badger ae wont to play pranks
It's there I would wander on Mahon's green banksIn my youth I have loved thee with a fond heart and will
Dear sunny woodland how I love thee still
The heath shall be brown and the rocks shall be grey
When he who would praise thee shall moulder in clay(continues on next page)- Informant
