Digitized by LjOOQ IC JAMES fOSEPH CALLANAN, 291 I pity her who never more will know Contentment here below : Who fed them at the fountain of her breast, And hushed their infant rest. Her faded eyes, her anguish speak, And her clasped hands, so weak ; Tis she, alas ! of Erin's daughters Hath seen the ruin of slaughters* J, J. Callanan, * This last expression may appear strange to the English reader, but it is a literal translation of the original. — ^Tr. Digitized by LjOOQ IC 292 SAMUEL FERGUSO...N. PASTHEEN FION. TRANSLATED FROM THE IRISH.

F. M*C.] O MY fair Pastheen is my heart's delight ; Her gay heart laughs in her blue eye bright ; Like the apple blossom her bosom white, And her neck like the swan's on a March morn bright !
