   The following poem was related to me by William Doherty (aged about 63 years) of Deerpark Ballyhurst
   bhí sé de glan mheabhair aige.
   Before the year of '98, decided Ireland's waywards fate.
   When laws of deaths and transportation were served, like banquets through the nation.
   There lived in Limerick city, a dame of fame.
   Oh what a pity, that dames of fame should live and die and never learn for what or why.
   Some people say her name was Brady.
   Others say she was O'Grady.
   The devil choke their contradictions.
   For truth is smothered with their fictions.
   Tis true she lived, tis true died.
   Tis true, she was a bishops bride.
   But for herself it does not matter
   To whom she had been wife or daughter
   Where of Brady's or O'Grady's.
   She lived like most ungodly ladies.
   Spending his lordships lawful treasure
   chasing the world's evil pleasure.
   Given to dinners, dice and balls.
