"Faith" said O Donnell "Ill give you the best pair of brogues I can make"
"Then" said the coachman "you may know that Ormsby is dead and your little house can stand".
The remains of O'Donnells little house still may be seen beside the great ruined residence. One of the O Donnell family made the following poem.IMy castle walls are strong. I trow
And long shall wear heir stately seeming
Its flowery lawns, its fountains gay.
And sweet the morning star is gleaming
And far around by Tullerboy
The face of nature's half Elysian.
And earthen walls no more shall mar.2The radiance of Aurora's vision

Tis done, the victim meets the blow.(continues on next page)- Collector
