“When I dwelt at home in plenty, and my gold did much abound,
In the company of fair young maids the Spanish ale went round -
‘Tis a bitter change from those gay days that now I’m forced to go
And must leave my bones in Santa Cruz, far from my own Mayo”.
‘Lament of Thomas Lavelle’ (c.1660) - The County of Mayo.
