    (continued from previous page)
    Was called the Kerry Eagle, or Erin's Kings Immortal Dan."
    Chorus as before VI
    Now think on these noble heros that have departed from our shore.
    That is Gratton, Burke, and Davitt, Wolfe Tone, Lord Edward and Tom Moore.
    Young Emmet taken in his prime, the three Manchester Martyrs them
    Young Allen, Larkin and O'Brien three noble hearted Irishmen
    Chorus
    Pray maiden dear, have patience and listen onto me awhile.
    I think I've told you plainly who fought and died for Erin's Isle.
    The End
