- (continued from previous page)I fear Lord Lucan has now left the camp.
O'Neill: Great heavens forbid our Lord should desert.
The thought like lightning darts me to the heart.
As I passed through our lines to move this way
He marshalled forth his troops in grand array.
And with a smile which spoke his inward worth
He boldly bid them spread their banners forth.
St. Ruth: This news like a rushing torrent has deluged my brest.
But haste O'Neill my friend and overtake his rash resolve.
And for his country sake to his great breast
The threatening danger show.
Entreat him nay beseech him no to go
Bring him to Aughrim and if you prevail
When we are joined we will our foes assail
Do this my friend with eloquence on sight
While in the rear I shall make good our flight
For there is the spot on which I choose to die
Or by dent of sword my fortune try.
