- Myles O'Reilly (The Slasher)1Castlehavan has forded the Shannon
With the soldiers of brave Owen Roe
And hurriedly marching to meet him
Press forward the troops of Munroe
With Scots from the Clyde and Loch Lomand
And Puritan spears from the Tweed
O'er the hills of Stradone and benvarra
And the meadows of Arva they speed.2Fierce rivers and raiders full many
Are ranged 'neath the flag of the Scot
