  1. (continued from previous page)
    For many a handsome girl in Rynn castle he did spoil
    And when he'd find those girls coming in the way
    It's their passages he'd settle for America
    XIII
    No more this tyrant cripple, no more he will evict
    No more he will order his tenants their ditches for to quick
    Now they can shore their green fields for to break
    For Brunswicker lords and orange boys the devil will them take
    XIV
    Now to conclude & finish I have no more to say
    I wish that those poor prisoners may soon get out of jail
    Those men who were innocent and were not there at all
    I hope they'll soon return to their homes in Donegal
