   "You lads and gay lases of spirit and game, I pray lend an ear to my ditty,
   In the week's news I lately have met with the same
   And in writing a theme I'm not witty,
   When Coolclough sent the challenge that they would them meet

   For to assemble in ancient Millstreet
   On the banks of the gliding Blackwater.

   The Clondrohid boys buckled on their belts tight
   And pranced round the field like the roebucks nimbly and light,
   Likewise the scene it was pleasing to view
   When Coolclough boys put on their tight caps black white and blue
   Presuming most anxious to dare and to do
   For the valiant yound blades of Clondrohid
