  1. A Local Song - Betrayal of Parnell (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    No more in Number 16 your foes may laugh asneer
    Such vile assassination it hurts me like a spell
    Your fair belied and crucified
    My darling chief Parnell.
    When I look back for sixteen years
    It grieves my heart full sore
    To see your many services
    It grieves me ten times more
    To see you treated worst of men
    It grieves me far more than all
    The Saxon that has gained the most
    Rejoices at your fall
    Remember W. Wallis by the hands of Scott he fell.
    And think of fond Columbius
    That's in the Spanish cell
    Remember Colonel Lally on the plains of Fontenoy
    In future times French guillotine
    became their Saxon's joy
    Unworthy sons of Erin
