- (continued from previous page)His is dead this two and
twenty years said the
Turf man from Ardee.VI.
He spoke about his country cause
And how we were oppressed
We have learned men in
Parlement
Our wrongs to redress
But they are all a blumen
hum bog said the
Turf man from Ardee.VII.
I heard a cheery voice which
I knew very well
Asking this old man his load of turf to sell.
I shook this noble hand of his
Then bowed respectfully
For I hoped to meet some future day with
The turf man from Ardee.- Collector
