This march is credited to David Murphy (Dailhi 6 Murchadha). a harper whose patron was Lord Mayo (Theobald
Bourke, 1681-1741, ofCastlebar, County Mayo), but who in the coui·se of his career incurred the wrath of the
greatest harper of the time, Turlough O'Carolan, who complained of his "lofty impudence."

"M uq)hy had a great opinion of himself, because he once played before King Louis xrv of France. This made him
conceited, a11d his behaviour to his colleagues was s.uch that lbcy heartily disliked him. One day, Murphy came into
the inn where Carolan was, and said that Carolan's tunes were like bone.s without beef. 'Damn me' says Carol:u1, 'But
I'll comr>ose a tune before l quit you, and you rnay put what beef you please on the bones ot it'. With that he seized
Murphy by the hair of the head, dragged and kicked him through the room unmercifully, during which rime Murphy's
screeches could be heard at a great distance: Carolan saying to him while he was roaring 'put beef to that air. you
puppy'. And it's likely according lo the accowll, that if it were not through some inte1ference he would not leave a
drop (of blood) in Murphy'"
