About James Casey
James Kevin Casey (1824–1909) was an Irish priest in Ballygar and Athleague and principal of St John's seminary in Sligo. He composed many didactic poems which were popular and published in collections. Their subjects included materialism, devotion, the Irish language and, most especially, temperance. An example is a verse of The Toper and his Bottle,I curse the day I met you, John,I curse the luckless hourI tasted first your flavoured cup,And felt its magic power.
