Composed by Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670–1738) to celebrate the marriage of John Drury of Kingland, Co. Roscommon, to Elizabeth Goldsmith in 1724, according to Donal O'Sullivan (1958). The last verse of O'Carolan's song praises those who marry for love, and not money. John was the elder son of Lieutenant Edward Drury of Kingsland, at Lough Gara, near Boyle, County Rosommon, and Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Francis Gore. His bride was the daughter of John Goldsmith, Ballyoughter, County Rosommon, and was the first cousin of renowned author Oliver Goldsmith. They were descendents of English folk from Surrey, including Sir William Drury, Lord Deputy of Ireland in Queen Elizabeth's reign, and were large landholders in the counties of Roscommon and Carlow. John's wife, Elizabeth, on the other hand, was from a family of rather modesty means. Unfortunately, the union was cut short by John's death the next year, in May, 1725, at age 20. He managed to father a daughter with Elizabeth, however, and it was she who inherited all the lands of her father, which thus left the Drury family. The fortunes of the Drurys eclipsed due to mismanagement and litigation, and the next generation was poor (O'Sullivan, 1958). | |||
