    The Betrayal of Blake at Cloone
    Deepening twilight lingered o'er a scene.
    As sad as many in that year of fate
    Two flags lay prone, the tri-colour and the green,
    Upon that autumn day in ninty eight.

    The daring French from Castlebar had come;
    Rapid they marched with Gaelic verse and cheer;
    The Base de Charge leapt lightly from the drum.
    'Twas ever thus when Humbert's sword was near.
