It consists of a number of boys travelling from house to house carrying a dead wren in a coffin decorated with holly and ivy and asking for money to bury the wren. From earley morning batches of wren-boys may be seen usually ten or twelve dressed in coloured paper and playing musical instruments such as trumpets, french fiddles and tin-flutes. They dance and sing and perform many tricks. They have also a rhyme which they recite together which isTHE Wren, the Wren, the King of all birds

A penny or twopence to bury the wren "Every householder welcomes the wren-boys and they usually give them some money.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
