On the tenth of august, the night before,
When Grania's sons they were all alarmed
From Lisnaskea to Ballinamore.IXSaying:- '' Prepare my boys with a moments' warning,

And save the Chapel of Swanlinbar.XFrom Leitrim's mountains they came in thousands,

I heard one Chieftain say to another,
'' What keeps our brethren from unfaithful Glan. ''XIIOur Montiagh brave! - have you been divided?
