    Old Graveyards
    Tallow Protestant church yard was once the old Catholic grave yard; even at the present day many Catholics are buried there. The Protestant church was then a Catholic church, and remained so until Cromwell's visit to Ireland.
    Towell was a clerk in the Protestant church, he pawned the Protestant Bible, and that night the church steeple fell.
    On the 24th of December in the year'52.
    The old Bible was pledged in the pawn.
    And Luther got so distracted.
    He gave the church steeple a fall.
