  1. (continued from previous page)
    But young O Heidhin with Andrew Lynch
    Went out to see the grey,
    And ordered out two stalwart grooms,
    To him with oats and hay,
    But Paladore was now no more
    Old Andrew Lynch's pride,
    And some would say that to his tail,
    The Long Black Hand was tied.
    They both again attend the feast,
    Our hero claimed his bride,
    And by Maude's holy cord,
    The nuptial knot was tied.
    In peace the lived, in peace they sleep,
    In tombs of ample space,
    Within lone Killeen's gloomy walls,
    That whilom haunted place.
