Beside the rude new altar
The capture's limbs were bound
And then a hempen halter
Was placed his neck around.

And a oak tree hoary
The "Sagarc" brave and good
Soon swing in martyrs glory
By Bands quick roaring flood.

O! men and priests of Ireland
Forget not that dark time,
When the Saxon foes of sire land
Made Patricks creed a crime.
XVIIII
And friend let ye all utter
To-day when Mass is said;
That soon the green will flutter, high
Above the envious red.- Informant
