- In speaking of the grief of a certain young man at the graveside of his mother Jude Henry said poor fellow made a fine speech:-
"Mo mháthairín bocht do chuir ar an saoghal mé,Go dtugaidh Dia bhFlaitheas bán dá hAnam bochtAgus 'cuile anam da bfuil ins an teampall seo indiúGo dtugaidh Dia Flaiteas dóibhthea amháin"
(When the old woman repeated this she said
"Mo chuid an tSaog"-) - Luighmuid ar lámh dheis agus codluighmuid ar an lamh chlé
Luighmuid le Dia agus glaodh Dia linn
Guarda na naoi aingeal ar ár gcuirp
luighmuid le Muire 's go luigheadh Muire linn.O Muire Máthair mo mhíle grádh thú
Mo chabhar chúntai in aimsear go gcathugadh
Go mo thuan réaltóga roinn agus gan bealach ár luighe
Ná nóir dár leigheadh tú ár nAnam.(continues on next page)- Informant
