    (continued from previous page)
    No more will they spawn
    Since the downfall of Reilly
    Called Paddy Sheán Bhán
    VIII
    No verdour will show
    Their leaves will stagnate
    And their fountains will fail
    Since the day valiant Reilly
    Was laid in Drumlane
    No more of his valor
    I now will relate
    But the past ages
    None have been so great
    Since the downfall of Joshwell
    There's none such a man
    As this bold Ulster hero
    Called Paddy Sheán Bhán
