- (continued from previous page)85butchers dream they'd never
fight again
Cranford, Collgreaney
Courtown and Monaseed
Can tell a dismal story
of many a bloody deed
But the sword of the
avenger very soon shall
fall
For the gallant Myles Byrne
awaits them
there behind Ballyellis wall.
Gaily the red banner
salutes the morning sun
Like hunted hares ere
night-fall those
Yeomenry shall run
The haughty English
ensign shall sink
in sore defeat.(continues on next page)- Informant
