In ipso senatu.—‘Ipso in Scaccario.’—Pemb. The Earl of Desmond, who was subsequently arrested, probably composed the following quaint and plaintive verses mentioned MS. as the ‘Proverbia Comitis Desmonie’:
‘Soule su simple e saunz solas, / Seignury me somount sojorner, / Si suppris sei de moune solas, / Sages se deit soul solacer. / Soule ne solai sojorner, / No solein estre de petit solas / Sovereyn se est de se solacer / Que se sent soule e saunz solas.’ Art. 43, in Croker's Songs of Ireland, p. 287. Quoted from the Harleian Catalogue, No. 913.
