    Then on to Clontarf I'd be hastily speeding.
    And take a fond look on its far reaching plains
    Where many a soldier lay dead and lay bleeding
    When Brian of the Tribute defeated the Danes

    Not a landmark of battle I'd faintly disturb.
    Round the name of O'Neill shines a halo of glory.
    On the fields where he fought Yellow Ford and Benburb.
