    1.
    You muses now come aid me
    In admonishing those pagans
    The new lights of Lismore

    Their faith they violated
    The occasion of their woe.

    Their source of renovation
    To free them from damnation Their faith they violated
    The occasion of their woe.
    3.

    The standard of salvation
    The Holy Church of Rome
    Your truncheon, shield and weapon
