black ribbon round the wrist, which the apparition of Sir
Tristram is said to have scorched.
"Shortly afterwards accounts arrived, identifying the hour of Sir
Tristram's decease with that in which his apparition had appeared to
his widow; and she was a second time married to Capt. Georges, with
whom she lived some years, and had four children; but as she
experienced much ill-treatment from him, they parted: he joined his
regiment, and she continued to reside in Ballygawley Castle.
"Some years after this separation, they again became friends. He
returned to reside with her; and in giving birth to their fifth child,
she died, as had been foretold by the apparition.
"The son of Sir Tristram by this lady was Sir Marcus Beresford, who
married the heiress of the estates and title of Le Pen; was created
Baron Beresford and Earl of Tyrone; and was father of George
Beresford, first Marquess of Waterford, the late Right Hon. John
Beresford, William Beresford, late Archbishop of Tuam, Lady Frances
Flood, Lady Araminta Monk, Lady Catherine Jones, Lady Glenawley, and
Lady Betty Cobbe."

Will puts in practice what the will deviseth,
Will ever acts, and Wit contemplates still,
And as from Wit the power of Wisdom riseth,
All other virtues daughters are of Will.
