   When my mother was a young girl she remembers her mother coming home from a wake in the townland. The wake was in the house of ODriscoll of Cílscúthanach The man of the house was dead - had died of some sort of "blast" and his wife stood o'er the corpse and "caoined" him in the following words:-
   Mo ghrádh 'gus mo thaithneamh
   Éirig suas id' sheasamh
   Agus gabhtar dúinn an capall
   Go ragfhaimíd go dtí an Ceapaigh
   Mar a bheidh againn feásta fairsing
   Mar abhí minic cheana-
   Ní mar sin a bheidh anois
   Ac "mourning" síos go talamh.
   These are the words as remembered by my mother who heard her mother repeat them when she returned from that wake.
