The first strain is cognate with (but not identical to) "[[Behind the Bush]]" in a American War of Independence era music manuscript, but the second strains differ.  The second strain of Donnellan's reel also corresponds to the first strain of "[[Wild Irishman (2)]]," and, while there are similarities between the other parts of the tunes, they also have some significant harmonic and melodic differences.
