   On the death of Lord Leitrim * April 2nd 1878* Collected from Owen Mc Gann, Killamaun Mohill by F. Flynn Mohill 1/11/35.

   Rejoice ye men of Leitrim,
   No longer mourn the fate,
   That held you in oppression,
   On a villain's broad estate.
   The iron hand that bound you,
   In slavery's heated chain,
   No more shall seize your earnings,
   Or menace you again.
   No more increase your misery,
   Or add to your distress.
   The curses of his victims,
   Have fallen on his head.
   The avenger's hand has sent him,
   To mumble with the dead.
   Lord Leitrim was a nobleman,
   Who owned a vast estate.
   He ruled it like a despot,
   He earned the people's hate.
   One hundred thousand acres were subject to his sway,
   And he kept his suffering tenants.
