  1. Sorrowful Lines on the Death of Reverend Thomas Lynch C. C. Donard (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    Now to conclude those doleful lines my
    pen begins to fail.
    God help his kind relations for him they do bewail.
    But where as he died on praising God they have no cause to moan.
    His soul for all eternity shall find a happy home.
    Before I do leave down my pen Ive one word more to say.
    It was in Donard out Holy Priest spent many a happy day
    But since cruel Death has taken him
    his loss we do deplore
    Around Donard or wild Imaal we'll see his face no more
