   1.Barony of Upperwoods, Co. Laois

   Here lies Entombed a Bard Sublime,
   Whose verse in Solust [?] numbers bowed
   Now gone to the Seraphic Clime
   To sing the praises of his god.
   Where Ryan rests that man of fame.
   Whom upper shades did once adorn
   This speaking stone shall loud proclaim
   to generations yet unborn.
   In rain shall years attempt to blot
   his Deathlefs name from Memories Page
   Ah. No, he ne’er shall be forgot
   Till time herself shall die of Age.
   The steady friend the social gay
   Whose country to his heart was dear
   Pause, Reader, pause and o’er his clay
   Let fawl the tribute of a tear
   Nature’s favourite child of Jenius sublime
   and beloved by all who knew him
   Departed August 4th 1825
   Aged 75.
   May he rest in Peace. Amen.
