    Nor worthy Sir Wheeler who cheered us in sorrow
    "Though passed be Joe's sentence" to friends he did say
    "The vessel that takes him must with him return
    And land him in Erin from Bottany Bay."
    As a writer of genius my tale has recorded
    The hole in the ballad my friends can't deny
    I'll close my last poem with a cheer for our Clergy
    And welcome the Naughtons with rapture and joy.
    Where the wolf did once prowl the lamb is now ranging
    Resigned and forgiven I'll go to my grave
    As the hand of a Naughton from the tower of Killaghy
    The banner of freedom in glory does wave.
