Samuel Ferguson. * White (fair) girl. EDWARD WALSH. 285 BRIGHIDIN BAN MO STOIR* I AM a wandering minstrel man, And Love my only theme, I've strayed beside the pleasant Bann, And eke the Shannon's stream ; I've piped and played to wife and maid By Barrow, Suir, and Nore, But never met a maiden yet Like Brighidin ban mo stoir. My girl hath ringlets rich and rare. By Nature's fingers wove — Loch-Carra's swan is not so fair As is her breast of love ; And when she moves, in Sunday sheen, Beyond our ...cottage door, I'd scorn the high-born Saxon queen For Brighidin ban mo stoir. * "Brighidin ban mo stoir is, in 'En^hh, fair yotmg bride, or Bridget, my treasure. The proper sound of this phrase is not easily found by the mere English-speaking Irish. God forgive them their neglect of a tongue, compared with whose sweetness the mincing sibilations of the English are as the chirpings of a cock-sparrow on the house-roof to the soft cooing of the gentle cushat by the southern Blackwater I The following is the best help I can afford them in the case :— ' Bree-dheen-bawn-mu-sthore.' The proper name Brighit, or Bride, signifies afiety dart, and was the name of the goddess of poetry in the pagan days of Ireland." — Author's Note.
