    were out after us like a funeral and you'd hear 'em cheering a mile aground. Ould Darcy's father was at the battle of Ballellis and he said the blood bursted out of the wrists of the pikemen trying to force them through the thick coats of the red coats. Anyone who was caught with a pike after got jail for life if he wasn't hanged or shot."
