    (continued from previous page)
    And by the Lord’s command
    He smote Golish Martin
    On the ground where he did stand
    It was on a door the laid him
    And off to Barracks they did go
    To sel them go along the road
    They were a public show
    They people all loved and groaned at them
    It was curious to tell
    To see a subInspector [sic] on a door
    Going off to hell
    It was in a covered coach,
    They laid him
    Lord Leitrin by his side
    He says to the sub Inspector
    You will get a speedy ride
    This fire won’t agree with you
    Because your head is very sore
    And you may curse the day
    You went to the place they call
    Gweedore
