    (continued from previous page)
    If special praise be given which is due to any man
    Which praise is given to Hughie
    Of the great O'Reilly Clan
    The dauntless Breffney captain who did the work of two
    And led the glorious triump to the Breffney boys in blue.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
