    XVI
    Beside the rude new altar
    The capture's limbs were bound
    And then a hempen halter
    Was placed his neck around.
    XVII
    And a oak tree hoary
    The "Sagarc" brave and good
    Soon swing in martyrs glory
    By Bands quick roaring flood.
    XVIII
    O! men and priests of Ireland
    Forget not that dark time,
    When the Saxon foes of sire land
    Made Patricks creed a crime.
    XVIIII
    And friend let ye all utter
    To-day when Mass is said;
    That soon the green will flutter, high
    Above the envious red.
