Now Billy's beagles and Willy's leavings
A short advice I will give to thee
Let old Granice pass with her noble banner
And never more boast of your Orange deedsThe following are two verses of a 2nd poem''Long life to Father O' Reilly and may
long he tend his flock
One time the sheriff was coming
the chapel door he unlocked
He turned to the congregation
and he said ''You need not fear
For none Luther's offspring will
dare to enter here''''For forty years in Swanlinbar our Chapel it did stand
And we never will resign it to
any earthly band.
Let Sheriffs and Bumbaliffs in peace remain at home
My advice to them is ''Don't interfere with the Holy Church of Rome''
