- (continued from previous page)Verses composed about the McGovern Clan. - '' A hardy race inured to toil.
But proud of heart, impatient of offence,
With passions strong and bold and full of life
Yet kind in speech and to the stranger's call,
Their doors are never closed.'''' Nor hill or brook we pace along,
But hath its legend or its song.''Stanza in reference to the McGovern who had a successful cure for rabies :-'' The virtue of all herbs of mount or dale,
On greenwood shade or quiet brooklet,
Whatever lore of science as of song
Sages and bards of old have handed down.''
