- The devil such farmers I ever have seen
From the village of Doon to sweet Clonkeen
They would give you no meat;
But cabbage enough.
And tell you eat plenty,
And give none of your guff.The above was written by a man in Doou during the time of the "Landlords." (no title)
“One day in May, I rode a gray, ¶ To sweet Tipperary races.”

And we'd spend some time in talking.(continues on next page) - Collector
