“There's a holy prelate done from us/Through Ireland well known/One of the grandest bishops/that ever graced the church of Rome.”
(continued from previous page)The shops were closed,
And business stopped
In honour of the dead,
Because he was amiable
So generous an kind
A true friend of orphan
The cripple and the blind.

For to attend his funeral
The country flocked around
From Easkey and Dromore West
From Screen and Sligo town
Ballycastle and Kilalla,
Crossmolina near and far,
Belmullet too and Foxford,
Westport and Castlebar.
VIII
The day of his sad funeral,
It was a mournful sight,
To see the clergy before the hearse
And they all were dressed in white
And with the different orders
It was wonderful to see
When the cortege headed
Round the town of Ardraree
