   Till we came to a wrecked looking Mansion, Which he told me was Gurtinminogue, We were then all struck with amazement, to see the large crowd that had come, Said Simon "the time is approaching For here comes the band from Taghmon. 3. They marched from the van to the stand-house, Like soldiers that were on parade, Kilmannon boys walked through the people, Like sons that were never afraid, Taghmon were admired by the people, Their colours near eclipsed the sun, Said Simon "I feel it all over, For these are fine boys from Taghmon.
