    Shut up my boys from all the joys of Nature and Creation...

    (continued from previous page)
    IV
    And days will come when freedoms sun from Antrim's coast to Mizen
    Will brightly shine and we will dine far from this loathsome prison.
    At festive boards for Saxon hordes indeed but little caring
    And sing the wrongs in joyous songs we suffered for old Erin.

    And then my boys those festive joys
    Shall serve for to remind us
    Of vows we swore long long before
    We left Mountjoy behind us.
