"Sir Ulick Burke" is an Irish air or planxty in D minor by Turlough O'Carolan.<br> Sir Ulick Burke (Ulliac Búrca), 3rd Baronet (died 1708) of Glinsk, was an Irish County Galway<br> landowner and politician. He was the son of Sir Edmund Burke, 2nd Baronet. The family resided at<br> Glinsk Castle. Ulick Burke supported the cause of King James II and was an MP for Galway County<br> in the Patriot Parliament of 1689 and was included in the articles of the Treaty of Limerick.<br> He married Ismay, fourth daughter of Colonel John Kelly of Skreen, County Roscommon. He died<br> without issue in 1708 and was succeeded by his half brother, John Burke, 4th Baronet. O'Carolan<br> also wrote Marbhna Uilliac Búrca (Lament for Sir Ulick Burke) when he died in 1706. <br> P.W. Joyce printed the tune under the title “Carolan’s Cap” in his Old Irish Folk Music and<br> Songs (1909).<br> It was also printed in Complete Collection of Carolan's Irish Tunes (1984), Stanford/Petrie's <br> Complete Collection (1905) and Ossian's The Complete Works of O'Carolan (1989).<br>
