- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)Only one Briton escaped & he craved that they take his eyes out to let him tell the tell so they took one of his eyes out & she used to sing a song but I forget it
"at Ballellis wall where the Britons [got] a fall, & I was one out of them all" - as one of the devils poked his eye out he said. (Tom has heard his grandmother sing a lot of songs but unfortunately a line here & there is all he remembers)
When Major [Chanbley] of Ballyrahan went home after the battle of Ballellis he said he would go for a walk down the lawn while his dinner was being cooked but there was 10 of the boys in the laurels & they rushed out & piked him against the wall. He died shouting "Orange & Blue, Orange & True"
