    your scheming face again to me
    In spite of all the winds that blow,
    I'll hang you on the nearest tree?”
    XI
    Now, vain alike were tears and prayers
    They bore him to the water side,
    And on a tree they hanged him there
    Lest one would say O'Donnell lied.
    If eer through Barnesmare you go,
    You'll see a navine deep and long,
    Along whose bed the waters flow –
    'twas there the hanging deed was done.
