    (continued from previous page)
    Our foes often say that we're not fit to rule ourselves, why not!
    We have got as great a men as any they have got.
    The land that bore O'Connell brave Sarsfield and Emmet true.
    Can always find great men to rule and fight their battles too.
    Old Irelnad will again, my boys, come proudly to the fore.
    With saon;s as great and glorious as ere she had before.
    In our Irish House of Commons that statemanship we see.
    With De Valera at the front old Ireland will be free.
