A Song (continued)
“The tramp of the trooper is heard at Macroom”
(continued from previous page)Of truce or of treaty but treason ensued
And the issue of every delusion was death.XI
Thus nobly the patriot prelate sustained
The ancient renown of his chivalrous race
And the last of old Egan's descendants obtained
For the name of Ú Máire new lustre and grace.XII
He died on the scaffold in front of those walls
Where the blackness of ruin is seen from afar
And the gloom of its desolate aspect recalls
The blackout of Broghill's achievements in war.- Collector
