    (continued from previous page)
    Among them there young Purcell sat
    A Brevat Brigadier
    Eyeing this British officer -
    My God he said "you here.
    On Letpsies plains methout I paid The debt to you I owe.
    Remember Mary Purcell now We'll settle 'ere" We go.
    Then and there 'twas soon arranged.
    That by the mornings dawn
    The living fount of either should
    Flow on a neighb'ring lawn
    Dire memories braced young Purcell's nerves
    Unerring was his aims
    The gallant wrecking Captain fell.
    A bullet thro' his brain
    By a Drangan Boy.
