Nicholas Blake (Dominican)

In 1702 he returned with two fellow Dominicans, Prior Gregory French and Fr.

Due to the Penal Laws and their earlier expulsion, any one of them could be deported if arrested.

[1] Blake "expressed his loneliness in a poem in classical Latin"[2] called "Here Lone I Live".

It is a very rare example of a poem of this genre from the west of Ireland in the 18th century.
