- (continued from previous page)G. Flynn and Lenaghan we will get
To help us drive the van
We'll ask Brady from Wexford and
South Leitrim's "Gowelman",
Mc Loughlin frm Glendowan hills.
The chief of Donegal,
We must get every gifted scribe.
Mulhern knows them all.Roscommon Bards, long may you live!
And laurels crown your breast.
May heaven reward departed scribes
Who in graves are laid to rest.
The suggested scheme is in good hands.
Mulhern will keep us right.
And lead us on to freedom's gate
When all the bards unite.Now, friends, my silence pray excuse.
My time is not my own,
At duty's post I have to be
Each day and night alone,
My kind regards accept, dear bards.
My worthy friends good night,
I hope you will remember me
When all the Bards unite.
