Pàgina 310 - This is not only to confirm the contents of that, but also to approve of certain commands to you ; likewise, to command you to prosecute certain instructions, until I shall, under my own hand, give you other commands. And though you will hear...
Pàgina 195 - for forty years back it had become a den and nest of thieves and robbers, so that more murders were committed in that valley than in any other place in Ireland, occasioned by the waste and desert solitude thereof.
Pàgina 116 - it was a declaration of perpetual war, not only against the native Irish, but against every person of English blood who had settled beyond the limits of the Pale, and from motives of personal interest, or convenience, had formed connexions with the natives, or adopted their laws and customs : and it had the full effect which might have been expected ; it drew closer the confederacy it was meant to dissolve, and implicated the colony of the Pale in ceaseless warfare and contention with each other,...
Pàgina 298 - I must clearly tell you, both you and I have been abused in this business ; for you have been drawn to consent to conditions much beyond your instructions, and your treaty hath been divulged to all the world. If you had advised with my lord lieutenant, as you promised me, all this had been helped.
Pàgina 310 - And though you will hear that this treaty is near, or at least most likely to be concluded, yet believe it not, but pursue the way you are in with all possible vigour. Deliver, also, that my command to all your friends, but not in a public way ; because otherwise it may be inconvenient to me, and particularly to Inchiquin.
Pàgina 229 - Efforts were made by many partizans of the government, and by the papal emissaries, to give the struggle the character of a religious war; but they signally failed. Many of Elizabeth's bravest soldiers were bigotted Catholics, and yet they never for a moment swerved from their allegiance. Desmond, the leader in the second great war, notoriously offered to profess the reformed religion, if his estates could be secured ; and Hugh O'Neill was so openly regardless of disputed doctrines, that his profession...
Pàgina 300 - I doubt not but you have too much courage to be dismayed or discouraged at the usage you have had, so I assure you that my estimation of you is nothing diminished by it, but rather begets in me a desire of revenge and reparation to us both ; for in this I hold myself equally interested with you.
Pàgina 180 - Having sent an embassy to Clan-hu-boy, and obtained a favourable answer, O'Neill, with a few faithful followers, proceeded to the Scottish camp. But an emissary of government had preceded him. Piers, a British officer, a disgrace to his country and his profession, had undertaken the task of persuading the Scottish chief to murder his unsuspecting guest. The desire of revenge united with the thirst of gain in seducing Clan-hu-boy to consent. At an entertainment given by an Irish lord, a preconcerted...
Pàgina 240 - MacArt and MacGriffin, being no longer useful, were given up to the vengeance of the law. They were hanged for robbery at Kilkenny ; and, with their dying breath, declared the innocence of the Byrnes. • The ingenuity of Parsons and his accomplices was not yet exhausted. The Byrnes presented themselves before the Court of King's Bench in Dublin, to answer any charge that might be brought against them. No prosecutor appeared, and yet the chief-justice refused to grant their discharge.
Pàgina 277 - The orders given to the earl were, " not only to kill and destroy the rebels, their adherents, and relievers, and to burn, waste, consume, and demolish all the places, towns, and houses, where they had been relieved and harboured, and all the corn and hay there, but also to kill and destroy all the men there inhabiting able to bear arms.
