- (continued from previous page)I am sure it was a pity
He's numbered with the dead
In Outearágh to moulder
He who never was indread.
He was a terror to his enemy,
He always came out brave,
He loved the green above the red
And wore it to his grave.

Oh! death, you never can repay
The damage I am sure,
Or have you ever made a seizure
Upon a heart more pure.
He scorned at the tyrant
Who would the poor efface,
The sheriffs power he did unhinge
And the poor man's cow release.

Oh had the great Pope Pius
Five thousand men like him,
He would not be a prisoner bound
Confined in Italy.
Or had the great Field Marshel
Mac Mahon of renown
He would ne'er be captured at Sedan
Nor Boney loose his crown.(continues on next page)
