Versions, variants and adaptations of the tune are numerous. Several (four) early versions of the melody appear in the '''Balcarres Lute Manuscript''', compiled in 1692-1694, and the tune appears to have been well-known by lutenists of the era. The blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) 'touched' "Port Athol" into his piece he called "[[O'Moore's Daughter]]" (Grattan-Flood, 1906). The air was collected and printed by Belfast musician and collector Edward Bunting (1773-1843) as "Seabhac/[[Seabhan na hÉirne]]", whose informants (including the elderly harper Arthur O'Neill) attributed the composition originally to Rory Dall O'Kane and subsequently used by Carolan for his song. Burke Thumoth printed the tune in London as "[[Mr. Creagh's Irish Tune]]," and Dublin publisher Lee printed a version under the title "[[Mrs. O'Donnel]]. | Versions, variants and adaptations of the tune are numerous.
