  1. This building situated some miles from Donegal
    A trading town of wide renown the star of cities all
    A J.P. Of honour adjacant does reside
    His name is D. Connelly, in him you may confide
    His grand domain with splendour, does decorate the vale
    Where the partridge and the pheasant, does sing their evening tale
    For the want of education, I now must stop my pen
    The name of this vacinity, you'll easily comprehend.
    IV
    The poet's name to mention lives near to Donegal
    His talent's great can't half relate the praises due to all
    The hills will spring with verdure green, when he is far away.
    For death's command does tremblingly forbid him longer stay.
