  1. (continued from previous page)
    who crossed o'er the bogs
    With their sticks and their hounds
    (They were caught anyway by McGrath and were brought up before the Court in Galbally.
    The boys had a solicitor from Cashel called Grace).
    Said the Major to Bennett
    'Tis a thoroughbred hound
    We'll fine O'Neill the sum of £5
    Grace stood up and did them confound
    Saying "I'll take you to Dublin the law to expound."
    The following is another verse of Carrolls.
    Often by the rivulet which flows through Inchacomb
    With heavy heart and book in hand
    I often have sat down
    There to be with sparkling waters
    And emerald fields so grand
    And to ponder on the wrongs
    Of our deadr old fatherland
    (Inchacomb is a townland between Galbally & Anglesboro'.
