- (continued from previous page)My home is now by Liffey's wave -
By Delaware I'll find a grave
Until my bones in dust they''ll lay,
Until my heart is turned to clay,
I'll not forget the days of yore,
Not those I left beside the Nore.
O Nore" my own dear lovely Nore,
I once was blessed beside the Nore,
Until I gain Heaven's starry plain,
I'll not forget to love thee, Nore.

“Dan Delaney, Killeaney, Mountrath, popularly known as "Dan Straight", was a small farmer...”

Dan Delaney, Killeaney, Mountrath, popularly known as "Dan Straight", was a small farmer who had a grey horse which was blind in one eye .It went astray and Dan approached John Keegan about putting a piece on the Leinster Express concerning it, and Keegan put it in verse:-"Gone astray or stolen from the townland of Rathglass
A half-blind horse grazing on grass.
Whoever will find him his reward will be great
By going to Glendine and telling "Dan Straight".
whoever will find him will be rewarded with coin
By telling Dan Straight who lives in Glendine."Dan Straight had removed in the meantime to Glendine, at the foot of the Slieve Bloom Mountains - Informant
