- (continued from previous page)The late Miss Elliott of Moneenlum spent all her spare time writing poetry. She is dead about 15 years. She wrote the two following
Manorhamilton
Manorhamilton so worded
After the Hamilton who lorded,
Near and far as he might own it
All the country near the Bonet.
Old romances tell the story
Ruined walls and legends hoary
How Sir Fredrick from his castle
As the burning stronghold fell,
Made a rush and seized his black steed
In the darkness rode pell-mell.
Louder yelled the Irish raiders
Tower and battlement gave way.
Of that structure those invaders,
Noble ruins speak today.
