"I often listened to Carolan singing his ode on Miss Cruise in raptures. I thought the stanzas wildly enthusiastic and neglected preserving them." Charles O'Conor. ... O'Sullivan v 1 p 66

A Bhrighid óg na gciabh breágh daite, mo mhian, 'S gur gile tú ná grian an fhoghmhair; 'S go dtoisgfinn-se leat bladhjain mhór fhada ar a' tsliabh, Gan teine, gan bhiadh í n-ár gcomhgair.

Ó d'imthigh tú i gcian 's i bhfad as mo líon 'S nach bhfillfe tú i ndiaidh a'Domhnaigh, Níl dhom-sa 'do dhiaidh má d'arthaigh tú ciall, Ach m'fhortún bheith ar Righ na glóire.
