  1. An Old Prayer

    Share Share Post
    I heard the following "prayer" from Peter McElvaney. (Farmer) Ballagh. 3 M.House.
    Let us pray our Lord with the hammers of hell, and the sledge of damnation, may banish the Orangemen out of the nation before St. Patrick's Day, that they may be damned, rammed and crammed into the big gun of Athlone, and come down in a shower of toe sparables to pave the shoes of the Papists.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
