- ORourke the blacksmith Mary A. Goold
ORourke the blacksmith forged a pike
And better neir was made
'Twas eight feet long in handle
And six inch wide in blade
Father Murphy blessed it at FerryCarrig side
It was Brian Bán who kissed it
as a lover with his bride
O God be praised the captain said
The hour has coe at last
There is no tiger in the forest
That springs more fierce or fast
Be up my boys be ready
Have those pike in grand array
And we'll march through Enniscorthy
By the dawning of the day
And we'll die as did our forefathers
With pike and steel in hand
And if we give one blow for them
We'll give one for Ireland too.- Collector
