  1. Local Poets
    Written by Rosena Hannigan Cullen? Castletara Cavan
    Collected from Edward Hannigan Cullentr? Castletara Cavan
    I heared of a man named Barney Lamb. He lived in Scotchouse. He wrote songs. I do not know his age. He's ancestors were not poets.He wrote them in English. He is a farmer. He made them about his neighbours. The mane [?name] of one poem he wrote was The New Married Couple.
    The New Married Couple.
    Come all you good people
    its now I begin
    It concerns a dance that
    we had in Drumgrin
    The new married couple was there all the day
