   Seven at a side lay stretched in death
   And one there wounded lay

   And one unhurt and out of breath
   Stood victor of the fray.
   The dying man in accents weak
   The survivor thus addressed
   A drink a drink for mercy sake
   A drink my last request

   With helmet doffed the warrior sped
   And fetched it from the flood
   For the base wretch though nearly dead
   Was thirsting for his blood
   When stooping o'er his fallen foe
   Kind solace to impart
   The villain aimed a dying blow
   And stabbed him through the heart

   The comrades of the dying man
   Set up the war hoot cry
   To take revenge they quickly ran
   To take revenge or die.
   Their enemies in full retreat
   Fled for the mountain glen
   Chased by a host urged on by hate
   A host of furious men.
