    And the figure we raised at our mast was the harp without the crown.
    Now we are safe landed in sight of New York Quay,
    We'll bid a dieu to all our foes,
    likewise a raging sea,
    We'll all drink wine and brandy let the toast go merrily around,
    And here is a health to sweet Athea in the shades of sweet Glin town.
