- (continued from previous page)She answered me young man you must me excuse
For Ill wed with no man so you must be refused
To the woods I will wander to shun all men's views
For the lad that I love is in famed Waterloo.If you dont me marry tell me your loves name
For I being in battle I might know the same
Draw near to my garment and there will be seen
His name all embroidered in my mantle so greenIn raising her mantle there I did behold
His name and surname were in letters of gold
Young William O Reilly appeared to my view
He was my chief comrade in fame Waterloo
He fought there three days till the fourth after noon
He received his death summons on the 18th of June.(continues on next page)- Informant
