rapparee

The pair argued after Wilhelm, 19, threw stones at beach huts on Rapparee beach in Ilfracombe, Devon, in August 1878.

It may also be advice for someone like "Gerry Macadamant" or "Martin Machismo" in "Rapparee Rap," or their confreres in "'Turtles." "To hold," put together with "Tartarus," is the root word of "turtle." In the eponymous poem, Muldoon reminds us that the lyre, made by hollowing out the guts from the shell, has been "taken up" by' so many republican "sentries and scouts" that the speaker "can't be sure of what is and what is not," whether the bin lid that sounds the alarm looks like a turtle or the turtle, who looks like one of those bin lids, is actually "'enlisted by some police forces" to recover the corpses revived by the burial of arms.

I would include in this description not just recently written songs like 'The Outlaw Rapparee' but the (in Ireland) politically sanctified 'Boolavogue'.

Archaeologists digging on Rapparee Cove, a popular tourist beach in north Devon, discovered a mass grave in 1997.

Ray Cashman's "'Young Ned of the Hill' and the Reemergence of the Irish Rapparee" traces the "resurrection" of the legendary Irish hero in a song by the 1980s Irish rock band, the Pogues.

Saying that, this is a fairly open race with several of the others hard to discount, notably La Yolam, from the in-form Ben Hanbury stable, and Rapparee, who disappointed last time but who is fairly handicapped on her earlier victory in a York maiden.

This is the first indication that Kavana and Woods may be writing for contemporary audiences who are not familiar with Ned's story or rapparee lore in general.

But in the concluding ten-furlong maiden, it was the turn of John Hills, whose filly Rapparee, ridden by Richard Quinn, clinched a short-head success over joint-favourite The Glen, denying his father and brother a double.

Ran well last time out, and may just have too much speed for fancied local rival Rapparee.

Rapparee ran with promise when third to Marani in what looked a pretty decent nine-furlong maiden.
