- (continued from previous page)And when the trumpet calls to life
The men of peace & men of strife
Each contrusion, skelp & scar
Shall shine bright as the morning star.(XVII)
Think on Dundalk where the Irish clans
Caught the invaders in their lands
And with a furious head-long sweep
Submerged them in the ocean deep
Remember brave & loyal Brian
Whose courage did forever shine
Remember how he crushed the Danes
With all his might on Clontarf plains.(XVIII)
Remember how he fought & spoke
And the God of battle did evoke (sic)
With a shining sword in one hand seized
And a crucifixion in the other raised
And rid us of a dangerous foe
In out-manoeuvering the Great Munroe.(XIX)
Remember Limerick where the women stood
Upon the breach with courage good
And fought like the (?) train
That fell the Grecians on the Trojan plain
Remember too and imitate
The Wexford men of ninety eight
That in triumph their colours bore
On twenty battle fields & more.(continues on next page)
