- (continued from previous page)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 EdwardOn the Bridge of Kilmallock is the following inscription
Repaired A.D. 1665
John Rogers then being Sovereign et cetera.
