    (continued from previous page)
    Too long these vile creatures our rights did purloin. Down with oppression and curse extirpation
    And she off your chains by the Banks of the Boyne.
    Some brighter assailants did terror reform
    And rave out their nonsense in the dying meal
    But after a calm there comes always a storm
    Such fictions and false hoods shall never prevail
    Tis known these past ages how we have been treated
    And Grattan declared with the heart of a lion
    The wrongs of his country he loudly repeated
    And bigots gave way on the Banks of the Boyne.
