    XIII
    Brave hearts through hosts of enemies have cut their way alone.
    Foremost rides O’Brennan the young horseman of Dunroan.
    And fainter still those heroe’s gather round a broken wall.
    And feebler still the heroes strike as one by one they fall.
    IV
    A single rider falls the last yet oer he ceased to breathe.
    His murdered love was well avenged on the corn slopes of Meath.
