THE MERMAID OF MAHEE.
INN SIGN "THE MERMAID OF MAHEE, " (s) KIRKCUBBIN, COUNTY DOWN.
(Painted by John Vinycomb. ) THE MERMAID OF MAHEE.
A LEGEND OF STRANGFORD LOUGH.
When fairies lived in this old land, (4) And kelpies held the streams. Such sights were seen and music heard As come to men in dreams.
To the lone peasant's fond belief, In legends wild and gory, Of sprite benign and goblin dam'd, Is due the wondrous story.
How the rude savage glories most In terrors weird and fearful, While timid ...souls take up the tale With sadd'ning hearts and tearful.
(3) Inis Mahee is a pleasant sail from Kircubbin.
(4) The mermaid appears to have been at all times a favourite object in poetry and legend. It holds an important place in the mediaeval bestiaries or popular treatises on natural history. It still retains its place in popular legends of our sea-coasts, and more especially in the remoter parts of our island. The stories of the merrow, or Irish fairy, hold a prominent place among Crofton Croker's fairy legends of the South of Ireland.
