Old Song - The Lords of Connacht (continued)
“Galway, Néithe and Tirawloey,”
(continued from previous page)alone the holy trod.
With a prayer to God for triumph.
Think how Brian smote the Dane.
Strike for virtue strike for freed an strike and burst the despot chain.
As the storm swept raging ocean, round the headline of Arklow.
Like the rushing mountain torrents dashed these patriots on the foe, for the Sasanach is routed and his iron rod is passed and the rightful Lords of Connaught have their long last right at last.
