   (Peac! Peac shall bless our God loved Isle)
   Peac did I say? yes it was a honoured peace
   But I might easily know
   the peac that England ever gave
   to a weak unarmed foe.
   Two flags now floated in the breeze high over Limerick town
   Of which I had my choice to join of fate disgrace or crown.
   To Frances standing I gave my aid that sword of mine of unstained
   no further use for it was not
   If in Erin I'd remain.
   The Captain speaks
   Stay Sarsfield stay I must insist
   The green flag floated there
   With O Hanlon high on Irish hill left waving proud and fair.
   I did advise and begged of you not to sail (to France away)
   to a foreign land
   Whilst wailing women cried return
