    (continued from previous page)
    Then ho, for the west wind, for oh, 'tis the best wind to save all poor fishers from dree;
    And raise high chorus, Kilmore lies before us,
    With our boat full of spoil from the sea.
    Patrick McCall the author of the above lines spent while in the summer in Kilmore on several occasion. He stayed in Baldwinstown.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
