Excerpt from Hràin Diada Cuize Connact, Vol. 1: Or the Religious Songs of Connacht, a Collection of Poems, Stories, Prayers, Satires, Ranns, Charms, Etc While collecting the Poetry of the Province of Connacht - a work which, I began some twenty years ago - I found that those Poems which touched upon piety or religion were very numerous. I found, moreover, that prayers put in a setting of poetry, melodious "paidirs, " and short petitions composed in metre were very numerous also. I searched east and west, up and down, and collected all that I met with. I found at the same time charms or "orthas" or "amhras, " I found pieces concerning the Church, I found pieces praising or dispraising people for their religion, I found stories about the Church, or about the persecution of the Church, or about some saint or other, I found blessings, I found curses, and I put all these things clown here with the rest. I now publish them all - poems, prayers, "paidirs, " petitions, "orthas, " charms, stories, blessings, curses, and everything else of the kind, under the title of "The Religious Songs of Connacht."
