- (continued from previous page)Some brighter assailants did terror reform
And rave out their nonsense in the lying meal
But after a calm there comes always a storm
Such fictions and falsehoods shall never prevail
'Tis known these past ages how we've 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.
