Song (continued)
“In Peak resided a lady of credit and renown.”
(continued from previous page)They were struck right down with crossing the deep sea.
VI.
Then for safer keeping and in order to annoy.
They transferred the widow's son, for the prison of Mountjoy.
The lady knew his innocence and vowed she'd set him free.
In spite of all hostile force that used there, try any.
VII.
Then in close confinement, they.
This lady of memorial set off without delay.
An order from the castle came to set the captive free.
And he returned home again released from custody.
VIII.
When home he returned, those bobbies had to run.
Their hearts with grief for leaving, you would laugh at the fun.
Thus they were rewarded by this lady of renown.
She sent them off from Coachford and tore their symbols down.
