    “In horror and dismay.”

    In horror and dismay.
    Here's success to those who did it,
    May their names be never known
    Outside the land of brothers,
    Who claimed them as their own.
    From Donegal to Galway,
    Let Irish men proclaim,
    a thanks to those who ended
    the tyrant Earl's reign.
    The widow's ruined cottage
    Nigh Milford marks the spot,
    Where Clements fell, a bleeding corpse,
    Beneath an Irish shot.
