Sir Cahir O'Doherty,
The Last Chieftain of Inishowen
(Born 1587 Died 1607)

By the Spanish plumed hat, and costly attire,
And the dark eye that's blended of midnight and fire
And the bearing and stature so princely and tall
Sir Cahir you'll know in the midst of them all.

Like an oak on the land, like a ship on the sea,
Like an eagle above strong and haughty is he,
In the greenness of youth - yet he's crowned as his due,
With the fear of the false and the love of the true.

Cahir O'Doherty's Signature
