- Old Ballinaglera's fearless sons,
Come raise your voice with me,
I now propose for to expose,
Tom Brady's infamy,
He's the most degraded human being,
There is from shore to shore,
He has grabbed four orphan homesteads,
And hurled them from their door.
He is now prepared to grab and rob,
To prosecute or spy,
While screened by English cursed law,
The League he does defy,
But we'll besiege him in his den,
Let all join heart and hand,
And soon this poisonous viper,
We'll banish from our land.
I have read in Irish history,
Of traitors foul and mean,
Of traitors and informers,
Who diseased our isle so green,
But of all the spies,
And treacherous knaves,
None have a worse record,
Than this grabber aye, this robber,
This viper and his brood,(continues on next page)
