   VIII
   We had eighty thousand in number at Skeagh
   Where our forefathers lived that were banished away
   Our clergy there met us their flags did re hoist
   And their bands played it up for the Catholic boys
   VIV
   They came thirty thousand to meet us at Lear
   From Mullagh Moybologue and sweet Killinkere
   Their flags in good order their pikes sharp and keen
   A prop of old Erin for love of the green
   X
   Killinkere's aggravation to that rotten tribe
   Was Orangemen stir if you dare at the jibe
   Their drums at the Lodge sure old mick they did chase
   And the Prestons and Clarkes turned black in the fave
   XI
   Those blood thirsty orangemen hurry down their lead
   And said their best friend Old King William was dead
   Our grand days are ended we cannot deny
   And we'll not have a chief at the 12th of July
   XII
   Th poet is worthy, to get the applause
   For he is courageous he'll stand to the cause
   He is sound pillar in St Peter's flock
   On the grand 3rd of August he played at the walk
