Summary: Macaronic Verse 2
Key dates:
Listen to this example of macaronic verse. “I am a young fellow that ran out my land and means,
Agus cailleach a’bhaile ná tabharfadh dom bean na spré,
So I placed my affections on one that had gold in store,
Agus gheallas don ainnir ná scarfainn leí féin go deo,
We made up our minds with each other to elope,
Is do rugas an capall I gcoinne no mhíle stór,
I met my true lover about the appointed place,
‘Sí ag tarraingt ar Chaiseal ar sodar I mean an lae.”
