    Clap your hands ye hunters rare

    (continued from previous page)
    That Englands rule of greed and lust
    Shall lie all broken in the dust,
    We'll still have Irish Hurling Men.
    There here's to her the land we love,
    Each grand old hill, and glen, and grove
    Her plains below, her skies above,
    And, best of all- her Hurling Men.
