  2. James Tevlin - Catholic Emancipation

    Share Share Post
    The following verses were penned by the poet on the event of Catholic Emancipation and sung by the people at weddings wakes and other social gatherings
    You patriots of this fair isle
    That long has borne the penal chain
    In spite of tyrants bare and vile
    Our long lost rights we will regain
    When we'll obtain an equal share
    In friendship we will all agree
    The claims we ask are just and fair
    Happy homes and Altars free
    Our noble friends are all combined
    To free us from the grinding laws.
