- (continued from previous page)None can express the deep distress, that is in this parish round
Deep mourning in Dunlavin, Donard and Davidstown
III
For fifteen years, as it appears, our good priest with us dwelled.
By young and old, both rich and poor, he was respected well.
Many a tenant farmer he saved from tyranny.
And many a noble work he done for Ireland's liberty
IV
All Donard, likewise Imaal, in anguish now do lie,
While sitting here, the falling tear, it scarce can quit my eye.
With hearts full sore we may deplore, his loss we may bemoan.
No more we'll see our noble friend to the Holy Church of Rome
V

He never let the needy go empty from his door.(continues on next page)
