- (continued from previous page)III
When a warrior falls midst his people victorious,
With the foes of his country laid round him in dust
The emblems of victory exalted and glorious
Encircle his statue and hallow his bust
But for you son of freedom your fall was so noble
You died for the land which your heart longed to save
No more will her sorrows your young spirit trouble,
Nor tyrant disturb the calm peace of your grave
Yet sincerly the sweet beams of heaven now glow there
And greenly the fresh dewy shamrocks grow there
And lovers of freedom in future will go there
To bless the repose of the youthful and brave.

- People say that Kilmallock will one day be covered over by a long dried up lake
It is said that a great destruction will put a terrible change in the world when the 3,000 years are up.
A woman will shudder at the sight of a man.
The people will be able to dance under the beds
It will take three men to pull a géodasán
Ireland's future saviour will be killed near Athlone
Winter and Summer will be so alike as to be only distinguishable by the leaves and plants
There will be 3 terrible days fighting before the South beats the North - Collector
