   They suffered all those pains,
   To strike for you another blow
   To break those foreign chains.
   (XXII)
   But there are rebel hearts among us still,
   Who will repeat those words again.
   And thread the path of those dauntless men
   Who died without fear of stain.
   (XXIII)
   But if you be true to England,
   Or obey her oppression laws,
   Or ignore our Irish martyrs,
   Who suffered for the cause.
   (XXIV)
   We'll ne'er forget their actions.
   We'll revenge our men shot down
   By the cold blooded murderers,
   Those servants of the crown.
   (XXV)
   Let those words ring in your ears,
   And echo o'er the plains.
   To show that those precious men,
   Had not sacrificed their lifes in vain.
