The plot outline is as follows: There was a hunchbacked (humpbacked) man who made his living selling his plaited goods woven from straw or rush, nicknamed Lusmore ( literally "great herb", referring to the 'foxglove') because he habitually wore a spring of this flower or herb on his straw hat. He dwelt in the Glen of Aherlow, Co. Tipperary. On journey back from peddling, he grew tired and rested near the moat (barrow) of Knockgrafton, and as it grew dark, he heard voices inside the barrow singing the refrain of "Da Luan, Da Mort (Monday, Tuesday)".

These men, as well as those of the > tribe belonging to King George's Sound, being tempted by the offer of some > tubs of rice and sugar, were persuaded to hold a corrobery, or great > dancing-party. As soon as it grew dark, small fires were lighted, and the > men commenced ... painting themselves white in spots and lines.

In other epigram, Crinagoras speaks of a sea voyage that he undertook from Asia to Italy, visiting Cyclades and Corfu on the way. However, the most well known epigram that Crinagoras wrote was the epigram (below), that is considered to the eulogy of Ptolemaic Greek Princess and Roman Client Queen of Mauretania, Cleopatra Selene II: :The moon herself grew dark, rising at sunset, :Covering her suffering in the night, :Because she saw her beautiful namesake, Selene, :Breathless, descending to Hades, :With her she had had the beauty of her light in common, :And mingled her own darkness with her death. Crinagoras had written the above epigram, assuming that an eclipse had occurred at the time of Selene’s death at sunset. However, there is a possibility, that Crinagoras was using a simple poetic metaphor for her death playing on a lunar aspect of Selene’s name.
