(continued from previous page)
"Your herds are in "May Bruree" ? Your men are prisoners all Your head and theirs by morrow's sun shall grace my castle wall Unless your speed for ransom back to Mayo's fertile plain and I pledge your oath on faith and name you'll soon return again." His oath he pledged his men unbound, them dungeon bolts undone Afar they shout "We'll soon return, my Lord of Hamilton" III The night was wild and windy, the revel lasted long Sir Fredrick's men were seated with wassail wine and song Like fire upon the casement, loud shrieked the startled dames The Mayo men have sealed the wall and the castle's wrapt in flames The melting lead like molten mines in bubbles blue it ran That night saw Fredrick fleeing far from Manorhamilton IV A looklet (?) by that castles side moves onward evermore And oft the urchin playing there he delved in leaden stone And Benbo mass a cloudy peak towering high above the valley green And dimly through December haze the Shannon hills are seen And Screeny groves are beautiful as they were in ages gone But grim and darkly flowing now sits castle Hamilton.
