Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Willy Reilly: And His Dear Cooleen Bawn Most of our Irish readers must be aware that the following story is founded upon an incident in the history of the affections, which, ever since its occurrence, has occupied a large portion of popular interest. From the very first discovery of their attachment, the loves of Willy Reilly and his Fair Cooleen Bawn became celebrated, and were made the burden of many a rude ballad throughout Ireland. With the exception, however, of the one which we subjoin, they have all nearly disappeared; but that production, rude as it is, has stood its ground, and is permanently embodied as a favourite in the ballad poetry of the people. It is not, though couched in humble and unpretending language, without a good deal of rustic vigour, and, if we may be allowed the expression, a kind of inartistic skill, furnished either by chance or nature - it is difficult to determine which. We are of opinion, however, that it owes a great portion of its permanent popularity to feelings which have been transmitted to the people, arising not so much from the direct interest of the incidents embodied in it, as from the political spirit of the times in which they occurred. At that unhappy period the Penal Laws were in deadly and terrible operation; and we need not be surprised that a young and handsome Catholic should earn a boundless popularity, especially among those of his own creed, by the daring and resolute act of taking away a Protestant heiress - the daughter of a persecutor - and whose fame, from her loveliness and accomplishments, had already become proverbial among the great body of the Irish people, and, indeed, throughout all classes. It was looked upon as a kind of triumph over the persecutors; and, in this instance, Cupid himself seemed to espouse the cause of the beads and rosary, and to become a tight little Catholic. The character of Sir Robert Whitecraft (a fictitious name) is drawn from traditions which were some time ago floating among the people, but which are fast fading out of the popular mind. The mode of his death, and its concomitants, the author has often heard told in his youth, around the hob, during the long winter evenings. With respect to the description of the state of the unhappy Catholics, however I may have diminished, I have not exaggerated it; and I trust that I have done ample justice to the educated Protestants of the day, many of whom not only opposed the Government openly and directly - whose object was extermination by the withering operation of oppressive laws - but threw up their commissions as justices of the peace, and refused to become the tools and abettors of religious persecution. To such noble-minded men I trust I have rendered ample justice. The following is the celebrated ballad of Willy Reilly, which is still sung, and will long continue to be sung, at many a hearth in Ireland: - Oh! rifle up Willy Reilly, and come alongat with me, I mean for to go with you and leave this countrie. To leave my father s dwelling, his houses and free lands - And away goes Willy Reilly and his dear Cooleen They go by hill and mountains, and by yon lone some plain, Through shady groves and valleys all dangers to refrain; But her father followed after with a well-arm d chosen band, And taken was poor Reilly and his dear Cooleen Baron. It s home then she was taken, and in her closet bound, Poor Reilly all in Sligo jail lay on the stony ground, Till at the bar of justice before the Judge he d stand, For nothing but the stealing of his dear Cooleen Baron. Now in the cold, cold iron, my hands and feet are bound, I m handcuffed like a murderer, and tied unto the ground; But all this toil and slavery I m willing for to stand, Still hoping to be succored by my dear Cooleen Baron.
