[Underneath this pillar high]
Underneath this pillar highLies Sir Daniel Donnelly;
He was a stout and handy man,
And people called him “Buffing Dan;”
Knighthood he took from George's sword,
And well he wore it, by my word!
He died at last from forty-seven
Tumblers of punch he drank one even;
O'erthrown by punch, unharmed by fist,
He died unbeaten Pugilist!
Such a buffer as Donnelly,
Ireland never again will see.
Obiit xiiio Kal. Martii mdcccxx.
