    (continued from previous page)
    With the green banner clasped to his hear in the grave.
    It was poor little Jimmy so small and so slight
    Whose hands were so thin and whose face was so white
    And who true to his plight grasped a patriots sword
    When the word went out "Strike, in the name of the Lord".
    Supposed to refer to a boy named Leacy of Cushinstown, Co. Wexford (see story No. 11)
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
