- (continued from previous page)81"Let all remember '98 that year of

When rapine red the land o'er-spread in flame the rooftrees rose,
When Pity shrieked and ruffians wreaked their deadly demons' hate
When pitchcaps clung and tortures wrung strong hearts in '98"The second poet worthy of the name is still living and verses of his on the Wexford Patriots appeared in the "Echo"
William Roche was born about sixty years ago at Clonogan Clonegal and also studied for the teaching profession but did not follow it up. He wrote some splendid poetry which appeared in local papers and Magazines and principally in the old "Weekly Freeman" he also published a book of verse.
