Proverbs and Song (continued)
“Twas on the slopes of sweet Doonard Peter Thompson he holds sway”
(continued from previous page)Some compare as two noted leaders who served Ireland well.
With Imortal Dan O'Conneil and Charles stewart Parnell.
IX
The ganger sent young King to town to get the Press one day
And told him he would not go again if he were long away.
When king reached town he quite forgot the newagents adress,
And went into Donloe and called for the Irish Press.
X
God help you Peter Thompson and make your burden light
And get your thirty hangmen to build their ditches right
And if in time they do become they conquerers of the soil
We will send them on promotion to the rolling plains of Boyle.
