- (continued from previous page)As for No.12 in Queen St, James Harvey is his name
His forefathers were tyrants, you all do know the same.
His tender-hearted father lent helping hand
To banish honest Irishmen far from their native land,
Now Drumaville and Banlaugh, Ture and Carrowmena to feel,
With hearts like steel they stood the field as Irishmen should do
Was I possessed of riches great, of banners bright,
Truly I would bestow it on Carrowmena quarter-land.
Now to conclude and finish I will lay down my pen,
Their names shall be recorded by every loyal friend
For when the times were at their worst how nobly they did stand
They're the terror of the landlords and the friends of Paddy's Land.
