Ere any one had time, however, to raise her, James Cavanagh rushed over to the coffin, and seizing her in his arms, bore her to the street, where he placed her upon one of the chairs that had been left there to support the coffin until keened over by the relatives and friends, previous to its being-placed in the hearse; for such is the custom.
"The Lord peety ye, Hermiston! the Lord prepare ye!" she keened out. "Weary upon me, that I should have to tell it!" He reined in his horse and looked upon her with the hanging face. "Has the French landit?" cried he. "Man, man," she said, "is that a' ye can think of? The Lord prepare ye: the Lord comfort and support ye!" "Is onybody deid?" said his lordship. "It's no Erchie?"
Ora pro nobis, Monk Mulligan groaned, sinking to a chair. There he keened a wailing rune. Pogue mahone! Acushla machree! It's destroyed we are from this day! It's destroyed we are surely! All smiled their smiles.
Oh-h-h, Scraggsy, Scraggsy, poor old Scraggsy," he keened in a high falsetto voice and subsided on a crate of celery, the while he waved his legs in the air and affected to be overcome by his merriment.

"Oh, my love! my love!" keened Mary wildly.
The little children from their play Creep to me full of fear; "Oh, whisht! the banshee comes," they say: "Whom does she weep for here?" But Sheila leaves my chair to go, And flings the shutter wide; "Be it for me," she whispers low, "The banshee keened and cried." God be between our house and harm, For trouble comes full fleet. I hold the babe close in my arm; The fairy in the street.
They were foolish Britons, and they risked much, who talked against the President of the United States in yon days. I keened a' the time that America wad tak' her stand on the side o' the richt when the time came. And when it came at last I was glad o' the chance to help, as I was allowed tae do.
