    Iarla ó'n Inse do chríochnuigh Éire ar smacht
    Fáig is draoithe d'á áirde léighfead stair
    Do thráchtfaidís thar nídh de thréighthe ár bhflaith.
    XI
    Flaith id' dhoirbheacht is id' ghníomartha suilt
    A Chogaraig! is tu osgaileadh gach snaidhm is broid;
    A Chraobh cosanta na bpobalach ba ríoghamhail suil,
    Mo lean dorcarach id' codhla thú, a Mach Fínghín Duibh.
    XII
    Is dubh, dorcha doirbhir duairc ár scéal
    Eochair gach cathair ó charn go Tuam'-an-Cléir;
    Tar-eis a scuiris de cheangalaibh cruada is gear
    Is dona led' charaid tu marbh, is iad buan tar h-éis.
    XIII
    Tar-h-éis beidh bacaigh go h-atuirseach ag éigheamh is daill
    Is gach n-aon do thaithigh do phearsa do mhéin do ghnaoi,
    Do chiabh-folt casda, do glaice do bheól ba bhínn
    Do ráidhte meala is do mhaiteas go leir fé'n líg!
    XIIII
    A líg na h-aindise! mairg leat Éire ag cuma?
    Speir ar lasad! is na mairbh ag éigeamh 'sa 'n-úir!
    Tá fhéachaint dealbh ar bhailtibh ó Cléir go Siúir,
    A benns Cheachainn ó sladair mar céil' é chúghat.
    XV
    Cúghat má sladais fear Ceacainn, díth náireach,
    An laoc ba chalma is an marcach ba binne cáile
    Níorbh' iongna dá gcnagfadh do bhaitheas le scéimigh ártha
