   At Point-to-Point races
   Her pluck and earnestness had seen
   Coming first in many cases
   Horsemanship good judgement keen.

   Miss Anne Bagot from Curraghmore
   On a hunter almost fit to fly
   With Miss Crofton, Mote Park, in joy galore
   And then a lovelight in my eye.

   Kilbegnet's pride to hounds would push
   With spurs of slinging steel,
   Then a picture for the painter's brush
   Was the Late Mrs Johnnie Sheil.

   Of the ladies all I knew her best
   With me many a day spent here
   Oh! May her soul in glory rest
   So also her husband Johnnie dear.

   The beautiful Misses Balfes (two)
   With their father oft times come
   These two every fence and bank knew
   Hunting was their sport and fun.

   Mrs John P Mulligan from the Walk
   And the late Mrs E.J. Blakeney
