  1. " Is beag orm tig mór gan táiplis
    Is beag orm cláirseach gan téadaibh
    Is beag orm bean óg gan náire
    Is is beag orm gáire gan éifeacht "
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
  2. Sé mac Dé na glóire é,
    Se mo stór é gan dabht
    Ar mo chroidhe is ar m'anam
    Agus níl aon iongnadh liom ann
    Mar do thill sé an fhuil ghlórmhar
    Agus an choróinn spionna ar a cheann
    D'fhulaing sé páis
    Is baineadh dion as a cheann
    From Mary Reidy Walshe, Knockafrechane, Brosna in 1924. Aged then over 70.

    Proverb:
    " Is fearr bean céad seift na bean céad bó "

    " B'fhearr liom bheith dealbh ar fhaithche Mhoiling
    (Brosna) ná le céádta is dachad i mBlea' Cliath "

    " Is measa sliocht a' mhagaidh ná sliocht an fhill "

    Ulick Keirns, a neighbouring poet was once lived back from the chapel door in Castleisland

    Ulick Kerins, a neigbouring poet was once turned back from the chapel door in Castleisland by the P.P. as he hadn't a copper to throw on the table. He turned back and this is what he said to the people coming in:

    "Brostuighidh, a bhuachaillí, Anso atá an margadh,
    Aifreann Dé á dhíol ar leath phingne "
