    In the old church of St Peter and Paul (the new church is also so named) is the following eccentric inscription to the memory of three relations of the name of Burgabe, who fell fighting for their country.
    "Reader, this year, it grieves my heart to hell
    In battle, three relations nobly fell
    Fighting for King, Religion, Country, Laws
    Angels and men approve the glorious cause
    Their mangled sides exhibiting to view
    The Virgins while, the martyrs purpled hue
    Well may the heralds emblomatic lore
    Their bright achievements blazon o'er and o'er
    With dew dropt lillies in a purple dream
    Marble immortalize each heroe's name.
    Brothers (George Alexamder ) Burgabe
    Nephew Edward
    On the Bridge of Kilmallock is the following inscription
    Repaired A.D. 1665
    John Rogers then being Sovereign et cetera.
