    But just a hundred years ago,
    Regardless of their fate
    There rose a bold avenging power,
    The men of ninety-eight.
    With victory on their banners
    They formed up their encampment
    On the Rock of Carrigbyrne.

    But why should I this moralise
    On things that's passed away
    Another generation picks the fraughans of to day,
    The old rock stands with hoary head
    As if it seemed to mourn,
    For the time when freedom once was seen
    Round the Rock of Carrigbyrne.
