   On St. Stephen's day the wren boys travel the district singing songs, dancing & playing violins; The people give them money. They dress in very funny clothes and put vizards on their faces. They generally have some rhyme. The rhyme in this locality is:- "The wren, the wren, the king of the birds, St Stephen's day was caught in the furze; Altho' she was small her family was great, So rise up landlady & give us a treat; We followed her up & followed her down, We followed her into Rathangan town; We broke her back & we split her bill, And we caught her on top of Kilmantic hill; Up with the kettle & down with the pan, Give us our answer & let us be gone.
