   The near approach of Land League men
   ("see the finish")
   Both parties with unslackened pace
   Proceeded on till face to face
   And then with deadly weapons raised
   Upon each other fearlessly gazed.

   (XI)
   Now these were moments you may learn
   Of a very grave & deep concern
   And I thought when there these lines I wrote
   I heard the battle bugle note
   Commingling with the might cheers reverberating far & near.

   (XII)
   I thought I heard the clash of deadly battle
   Did like a tempest rage & rattle
   And that the earth o'er capped with core
   Got crimson-dyed in human more
   And that I heard the fearful tones
   Of maddened shrieks & dying grones
   But my impressions now again
   Were but delusions false & rain
   For certainly the (?) was nigh
   As eager eyes could well discry.

   (XIII)
   I saw from there I took my stand
   A man approach that held command
   And told the people to withdraw
   And render homeward to the law
   And that they should retrace their course
   Before they'd be expelled by force
   But these commands were received at once
   With a very stern & strict response.
