"Mabel Kelly" in Gaelic "Maible Ni Cheallaigh" is an Irish air or planxty 3/4 time and D Dorian is thought to have been one of the compositions of blind Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), it is one of seven airs he composed for people named Kelly. It was recorded by the Belfast Northern Star of July 15, 1792, as having been played by one of ten Irish harp masters at the last great convocation of ancient Irish harpers, the Belfast Harp Festival, held that week. A song as well as an air, it was probably composed in honor of the only daughter and heiress of Laughlin Kelly of Lismoyle, County Roscommon, according to Donal O'Sullivan (1958).
