    (continued from previous page)
    Twas by that means Father Murphy was taken
    On our retreat to Castlemore
    He was brought to Tullow and ill-used severely
    With faggotts blazing they burned his bones
    VIII
    So here is a health to the County Wexford
    Throw off your yoke and to victory run
    Let no man think you'd lay down your arm
    For each man has both his pike and gun
    So now my friends the time is approaching
    When in one body we'll all appear
    And he commanded by some pious creature
    Like Father Murphy from Shelmalier
