"For the future I cease, Death approaches with little delay, Since the dragons of Laune and Lane and Lee are destroyed; I’ll follow the heroes far from the light of day, The princes my ancestors followed before Christ died."

"Aodhagán Ó Rathaille sang this sang That I maun sing again; For Ive met the Brightness o Brightness Like him in a lanely glen."

"That my old bitter heart was pierced in this black doom, That foreign devils have made our land a tomb, That the sun that was Munsters glory has gone down Has made me a beggar before you,Valentine Brown."
