    (continued from previous page)
    O'Neill; the Flight of the Earls; the plantation of Ulster; the sieges of Derry; the conflicts of James & William; the protracted agony of Roman Catholic Ireland, during the dark Penal days; the miserable Insurrection of 1798; the agitation for Roman Catholic Emancipation; and the dawn of a brighter and happier, because freer, day. All these it has seen and all surveyed; ay - and it has seen too, the sturdy sons of its own land, sallying around its ruined walls to build them up again with loving reverence and tender care; and to have enrolled amongst the cherished glories of Erin, in their foremost rank, the name and fame of the wonderous old Grianan of Aileach!
