    (continued from previous page)
    But when OHara did espy
    The Yeoman's piece brought to his eye
    He with a pluck brought Isaac round
    Who met the ball and hit the ground
    The spot on which OHara stood
    Had been surrounded by a wood
    Into which beneath the bows
    He got unharmed by his foes
    And closely as he was pursued
    The godless pack he did elude
    Their fruitless search they neer gave o'er
    Till he was safe in Ballinamore
    Here long he lived and oft did tell
    How he escaped and Isaac fell.
