  2. Aithris Beag
    Bíonn an píosa so leanas aca annso i nGleann Beithe mar aithris i gcómhnaí.
    Where could a patriot so brave and so good.
    As the brave Robert Emmet be found.
    For he was a martyr and Irishmen should.
    His praises for ever resound.
    How great was the speech that he gave at his trial.
    Ere he to the cold grave did go.
    His heart often bled for the Emerald Isle.
    Down trodden and gored by the foe.
    Then while I have strength I will sing in thy praise.
    Of Emmet the fearless and bold.
    His name and his fame and the pluck of his days.
    Are written in letters of gold.
