Lament For Terrence MacDonough - Hammered Dulcimer

Irish lament, composed by blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) on the occasion of the death of Terence MacDonough of Sligo in 1713.
Terence MacDonough was a soldier, lawyer, man of affairs, patron, and poet himself. He represented the borough of Sligo in King James's Irish Parliament of 1689. He fought for King James at the end of the 17th century, attaining the rank of Captain. He was much mourned at his death, not the least by numerous Irish poets and bards from whom several poems expressive of the grief survive.
