  1. The Bridge of Finea (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    'Tis blocked with the dead and the dying,
    Clansmen and foemen lie low,
    Till scarce a half score of the troopers,
    Are left by the sword of Munroe.
    With a shout from the throat of their comrades,
    And again to the bridge they have flown,
    And forward one pace stepped the Slasher
    And stood in the centre alone
    "Come on, ye fierce hounds of Cromwell,
    We'll meet your false souls undismayed,
    We have promised you graves and you'll get them".
