- (continued from previous page)Mr Russel and Charles Sullivan the prisoner did defend
The cross-examiner spoke for hours, the jury sat in gloom
But still they found a verdict that sent ODonnell to his doom
The judge he passed a sentence in a voice bout low & weak
ODonnell asked permission for a little while to speak
Judge Demmond said "you are too late", ODonnell did loudly cry
Three cheers for dear old Ireland; United States Good-bye.

The door soon closed behind him; poor ODonnell was seen no more
This man will be remembered all o'er the would you see
He was hanged on December the 17th in the year of eighty three.
