  2. Local Poets

    Share Share Post
    Sam Mc Murray, Robert Gray, and Robert Guinn are all good poets they can make songs or dances and concerts. They compose them in English.
    They occasionally complete one with the other privately and help one another at making songs.
    One man is a farmer and the others carpenters. They make their songs at night. They are all good scholars. Their songs are sung all over the district.
