- (continued from previous page)a cart and being flogged while the horse travelled at a slow space from the Old Bridge, Macroom to the New Bridge a distance of a mile. On being released he gave his torturer a kick that laid him senseless on the ground.
- O, Macroom 'midst your sweet hills and vales.
All around you is bright to behold;
There are also your woods and your dales,
And your rivers flowing o'er beds like gold.Your Convent and Chapel divine.
Standing bright at the foot of Sleavear,
O, they form a picture sublime
Above all other sights I have seen.For in them were woven sweet spells
Of enchantment around my Young soul
A vision that still to me tells
Of sweet joys I first got in Macroom. - Informant
