It has been oft with exultation said, That Ireland never noxious reptiles bred, Who bask secure in deliterious pow'r, And victims in whole hecatombs devour.

The history of his life and his loyalty is written in legible characters on the backs of his countrymen, his enormities were so various, and the fertility of his imagination in devising new modes of desolation and torture were so truly origi nal, that expresses and relays of horses, were every day employed to give the earliest intelligence of their effect through the country, for the instruction of other gentlemen, who had the management of Whipping Districts. Sir Thomas's labours did not go unre warded, he was honoured with a title, and the King at Arms had orders to register his great virtues, in his book of illustrious nick names, In Granard Hugh Ker, Esq. by a pistol shot.
