- (continued from previous page)The hearse is moving slowly that bears Aspel to the grave
The snow white plumes of innocence above his head doth ware,
For him a gorgeous funeral his friends they did prepare,
To take him to Clonalvey - but he wont - but he wont be buried there.No he wont be buried there, the solemn vow was heard,
Where the victim of his vengeance was the day before interred
We will out with due unformity to the just commands of Sod
For his remains will never desecrate our consecrated Sod.Before the funeral started Brave Sherwin and bold Rock,
With plying steeds the country roused like an el-ect-ric shock,
The people roused all ran with speed unto the churchyard gate,
With defiant air and steadfast looks the funeral now await.The funeral now arrives, inside the walls are men avoid of fear
Say, take him away to whence he came he wont be buried here,
Above the glamour and the noise a voice was heard to call
All who are in the people's course all stand inside the wall.(continues on next page)- Informant
