    XXVII
    Now young O Heidhn and Andrew Lynch
    Went out to see the grey
    And ordering out two stalward grooms
    To him with oats and hay
    XXVIII
    But Paledore was now no more
    Old Andrew Lynchs pride
    And some would say that to his tail
    The "Long Black Hand was tied
    XXIX
    Now Andrew Lynch addressed the guests
    Our hero claimed his bride
    And by Mac Dungals Holy curb
    The Nuptial know was tied
    XXX
    In peace they lived, in peace they sleep
    Amid tombs of ample space
    Within lone Killeen's lonely Walls
    That lonesome haunted place.
