    And when there is gloom upon you bid
    them think who has brought it there.
    Sure a frown or a word of hatred was
    not made for your faces so fair
    You've a hand for the grasps of freindship
    another to make them quake.
    And they're welcome to which soever it
    pleases them most to take.

    Shall our home like the huts of Connaught
    be crumbled before our eyes
    Shall we fly like a flock of wild geese from
    all that we love and prize
    No, by those who were there before us no [?]
    shall our tyrant be,
    Our land it is their's by plumber but by
    Bridget ourselves are free.
