    V
    Alas that my loved one
    Her outlaw would injure
    Alas that he should prove
    Her treason's avenger.
    That this right hand should make thee
    A bed cold and hollow
    When in death's sleep it laid thee
    Young Maighréad Ní Cheallaigh.
    VI
    And while in this lone cave
    My deep grief I'm venting
    The Saxon's keen bandog
    My footsteps is scenting
    But true men await me.
    Afar in Duhallow
    Farewell Cave of Slaughter
    And Maighréad Ní Cheallaigh
