   too obstinate, too proud perhaps, his battle plans to tell.
   I need not speak of Customs fate with his gallant comrades brave
   That smashed the planks that held the bridge, and plunged into the waves
   Down its beams came toppling with a fearful crash did fall
   Into the tide rolled gun and horse Brent and Burgan all.
   Brave Bunwick [?] now he sailed to France to haste the promised aid
   But a lack of confidence on his part
   Alas! to long he delayed
   And back again to Limericks' walls
   where I did resolve to stand
   and fight till death around me gleamed in single Battle brand
   Oh heaven how can I tell my woe and my disgrace.
   I dropped that sword of victory and signed that pledge of peace.
