- 1.Barony of Upperwoods, Co. LaoisHere lies Entombed a Bard Sublime,
Whose verse in Solust [?] numbers bowed
Now gone to the Seraphic Clime
To sing the praises of his god.
Where Ryan rests that man of fame.
Whom upper shades did once adorn
This speaking stone shall loud proclaim
to generations yet unborn.
In rain shall years attempt to blot
his Deathlefs name from Memories Page
Ah. No, he ne’er shall be forgot
Till time herself shall die of Age.
The steady friend the social gay
Whose country to his heart was dear
Pause, Reader, pause and o’er his clay
Let fawl the tribute of a tear
Nature’s favourite child of Jenius sublime
and beloved by all who knew him
Departed August 4th 1825
Aged 75.
May he rest in Peace. Amen.- Informant
