Picturesque Ireland : a literary and artistic delineation of the natural scenery, remarkable places, historical antiquities, public buildings, ancient abbeys, towers, castles, and other romantic and attractive features of Ireland . adventurer was hunted from Kil-colman : the poet found a resting-place in Westminster Abbey. He left fourchildren, the eldest of whom, Sylvanus, married a daughter of Nagle, ofMonanimy, who, on her mothers side, represented the Roches of the Nagles and Roches were Roman Catholic families, and this connectionhad an important influence on the fate of the Spensers. The mother of Ed-mund Burke, Miss Nagle, of Castletown-Roche, was grandniece to SylvanusSpensers wife, and it is suggested that perhaps the great orator derived hisChristian name in this way from the great poet. f Although born in Dublin,Burkes early boyhood is associated with Castletown-Roche, not far distantfrom Monanimy ; here the Latin grammar was first placed in his hands by * T. MacNevin. Confiscation of Ulster, etc., Chap. IV. f See Craiks Spenser and his Poetry. A comprehensive and impartial estimate of Spenser may be found in thePoetical Works, edited and annotated by Francis S. Child. 5 vols. The Pass of Keim-an-eigh. CORK. 459
