      Here’s what seems like a major contributor:

      https://nicoleevelina.com/2013/04/22/poets-most-powerful-celtic-satirists/

      With these sources:

      Secrets of the Druids by John Matthews
Magic of the Celtic Otherworld: Irish History, Lore and Rituals by Steve Blamires
Celtic Myth and Religion: A Study of Traditional Belief by Sharon Paice Macleod
http://loki.stockton.edu/~kinsellt/litresources/celts/review/supernatural.html

      Some the things in the post seem to be from the book “Celtic Smiths and Satirists: Partners in Sorcery” by M. Randolph

      Although I think the “they weren’t allow to marry” was more that they became hated for abusing their power, so it was more likely a “they shouldn’t be allowed to be happy” type of deal. But I didn’t read enough to check that out fully.

    My bardie, he don’t talk sweet
    He ain’t got much to say
    But he loves me, loves me, loves me
    I know that he loves me anyway
    And maybe he don’t dress fine
    But I don’t really mind

    Let’s hear it for the bard
    Let’s give the bard a hand
    Let’s hear it for my bardie
    You know you gotta understand
    Oh, maybe he’s no Romeo
    But he’s my lovin’ one-man show
    Oh, whoa-oa-oa
    Let’s hear it for the bard
