“O Brien had a rival poet, Scannell, of Ballinagree.”
OBrien had a rival poet, Scannell, of Ballinagree When OBrien wrote in praise of anything. Scannell wrote to contradict that I have only one small verse of Scannell's but I daresay some one in Ballinagree would have much more -
HERE OBRIEN WISHES TO BE BURIED IN MUSHERA
Nuair a gheobhad sa bás
Fágaidh me agaibh le h-uadacht
Me cur go h-árd ar Ard na Cille se thuas.
Bheadh mo aigne sásta acht mé fágaint am' sheasamh san uaig
Ag amharc ar ailneacht na Máma is na bailtibh ó thuaidh.
-------------------------------------------
Here is SCANNELLS opinion of OBrien & his grave in Mushra
Tá fille bog, baoth,
Gan chéill, gan tuiscint gan stuaim
Ar imeall an t'sléibhe go glaonn[?] siad air Mushera Mor
Bheadh mo aigne sasta acht e fagaint in sheasamh san uaig
Ach má cuirtear annsúd é is dubhach a bheidh a shaoghal
Beidh an sioch ag gabhail trís ins an oidhche
Is é leatta ag an bhfuacht
An sneachts 'gén gaoithigh
A' thiar cuir le fuinneamh lena chluais
'Na srón is na bhéal is céad béithig orring anuas.
