    v111
    Now had I "Burn's talent" or could my pen command
    In black and white and in verse I'd write on this famous "buck house band."
    I'll take its members one by one and their record hold in view,
    But now alas I must let them pass to the bards of the Foggy Dew.
    These verses were made by Peter Monaghan, Stravicknabo, who is still alive in America.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
