   Saint Beoy [?] his church on Inch Island,
   He blest it and saw it was good.
   On Corry, not far (from) on the dryland
   The Ford's noble castle once stood,
   And Curraghy Church on the Claddagh.
   And Tampall na Gallia dhu,
   All ruined by Hamilton bradagh
   In the year of sixteen forty-two.

   Farther north and a little bit higher
   At the base of the mountains green slope
   The home of brave Father Maguire
   The refuter of Gregge and Pope
   Farther still in that very direction
   The old castle walls, Dromahaire
   Where O' Rourke long afforded protection
   To the gallant O' Sullivan Beare.

   VI

   And only three miles from the Gally
