    One called Father Dermot says
    Oh brethren! I must save
    The altar's sacred vessels
    E'er I sink into the grave.
    He signed his forehead with the cross.
    A holy psalm he sung.
    And then unto the floor below
    The portal ladder flung.
    He had scarcely reached the lowest step
    When he was seized and bound;
    And by the ruthless soldiers
    Fiercely cast upon the ground.
    The yeomen knew no pity.
    At his hoary locks they laughted;
    And with one stroke of a broad sword
    His head it was cut off.
