Brian, both can be found elsewhere (in "Bryan O'Lynn") though only the first example antedates Eliza Pace.
Fraser's Magazine (Feb. 1842):
Brian O'Linn, his wife, and wife's mother, They all went into one bed together; The blankets were broke, and the sheets were thin, "Let's lie close together," says Brian O'Linn.
Fred High, "Old, Old Folksongs" (1951?) [typos corrected]:
After supper they must have a dance There was nobody there that could caper or prance His shoes were rent & his socks were thin I’ll shake my old tatter said Bryno-o-Lynn
