- Bill Donnely made a song about a minister who canted a neighbours ass to pay the tithes. Here is some of it.In the county Tipperary
In a place called Longford pass
There lived on Thomas Grady
And he kept a statily ass
He was seized on by a heretic
And canted for the tithes
On the hill of Fennor the ruffin lived
And his name was Billy Lloyd
The fettered him across
And confined him in a manger
Without hay or grass
Relinquish Pope and Popery
And I will set you free
I will never deny till the day I die
The banner of the cross
For I wear it on my shoulder
Although I am but an ass
This poet was a labouring man who lived about 1840.- Collector
