    He was sent into prison
    The reason I don't see
    For loving brave Ireland
    His native country
    VII
    To defend the Irish people to them
    He tried many a plan to steal
    My gallant son his favours won
    For poor old Granuale
    VIII
    I awoke them from their slumbers
    Excited in a fright
    I thought it was the broaday light
    Till I found it was the night.
    IX
    I looked around and I could not see
    But the walls of a lonely jail
    And it was then I thought
    Of the dream I had about poor old Granuale
