Possibly the readers of the “‘Unkinde Deserter” may be able 
to conjecture the purpose of this composition, and assign some 
reason for finding the Lion of Belgium, the Harp, and crowns 
of Ireland quartered together. 
Vol. X VII., containing Nos. 5101, 5102, 5103, and 5104, 
is a thin quarto volume; the first part is occupied with a col- 
lection of religious poems in the Irish language; some upon 
Columbanus, and others attributed to him and to St. Mo- 
~ ling, also the rules of the Irish saints, commencing with St. 
Columbanus. This collection was finished in 1630, as may be 
seen at page 45, where it ends. Then commences * Festilo- 
gium S. Engussii Keledei,” also in Irish, and beautifully writ- 
ten, unquestionably in the handwriting of Michael O’Clery ; 
the accompanying gloss and notes are very full, and the ‘* Fes- 
tilogium” occupies fifty-one pages. 
The next piece is entitled ‘* Mariani Gormani Sancti de 
quibus dubito, an sint Hiberni an alij, quid non reperiantur in 
aliis Martyrologiis iis quibus denotantur diebus.” It is in the 
Irish language, as well as a testimonial which precedes it, 
bearing date “18. aug. 1633,” and signed Feapfearpa o maoil- 
éonaipe and Cucoicepice o Cleims. 
This Martyrology is in short metre, and contains 141 
pages. 
After this there is a third Martyrology, that of Tallaght, 
occupying about twenty-seven pages, and then the following 
testimonials :—
