But just a hundred years ago,
Regardless of their fate
There rose a bold avenging power,
The men of ninety-eight.
With victory on their banners
They formed up their encampment
On the Rock of Carrigbyrne.vii
But why should I this moralise
On things that's passed away
Another generation picks the fraughans of to day,
The old rock stands with hoary head
As if it seemed to mourn,
For the time when freedom once was seen
Round the Rock of Carrigbyrne.
