    Conduct the heavy labours
    With indefatigable care
    VII
    May this new habitation
    Be a building of duration
    To the present generation
    That inherits the domain
    May no eye or visitation
    Death or plague starvation
    Bring on desolation or inflict them with pain
    VIII
    May nothing late or early
    Devil, ghost or fairy
    I beseech the Virgin Mary
    Ever haunt their new houses
    May the offspring of O’Grady
    And his estimable baby
    For to hunt or shoot grouse.
    Michael King
    Shyan.
