  1. Old Tombstones

    Share Share Post
    I read the following interesting inscription on an old tombstone in Clonbeg graveyard.

    "Though boisterous winds and Neptune's waves
    Hath tossed me to and fro,
    Yet by the order of God's decree
    I harbour here below,
    Where now I ride at anchor's deep
    With many of the Fleet
    Waiting one day for to set sail
    Our Admiral Chief to greet"

    Though I tried I could not find out date or name.
