Disdaining restriction 3 and feminine fear, 



She so loved the hunting and always was near. 



Next Massy from Glenville how noble his mien 



He enjoyed a good fortune, was mate for a queen ; 



And Fosbery 4 " Red George" with brogue as rich quite, 



Keen folk, these were welcomed with cheers of delight. 



Then Magennis rode hard when the work it got warm, 



Though, like young Ambrose Power, lie was minus an arm ; 



The young Guv'nor^ rode Watty; Sir Wheeler staunch 



rock 



Rode a tight horse, a son of the famed Hollyhock. 

 Big Bayly, on Giant, made two giants there, 

 Yet his eyes and his head they were felt everywhere ;

 Blind men's poems and travels we cannot deny, 

 But a blind forward horseman was rare to the eye. 

 " There's a hound still in covert,'' said Nixon ; " lie's 



here !" 



What the blind want in sight they make up in the ear. 

 Old Byrne put them in. " Hark to Warwick !" he cried, 

 For Warwick, old hound, was his boast and his pride. 



3 Ladies did not hunt at this time, and this seems to have been the 

 first to appear in the field. 



4 At one time Master of the Limerick Hounds, and a great ally of 

 Sir John Power, first baronet. 



5 Mr. John Power (afterwards second baronet). 



* Mr. Cooke of Kiltinan, father of the present Mr. Cooke. 



7 Probably Mr. Luke Fowler, afterwards Rector of Freshford. 



* Mr. John Watson of Ballydarton.
