- (continued from previous page)When on the mountain top or glen
On Altars rude the Mass was said.
'Twas then Sir John defied the law,
It's bloody threats he put at naught.
And to Brittas Castle, Mass to say
A holy priest he bravely brought.
O brave Sir John,
The days are gone
The terror reign you knew,
But in freedom's light
Now shining bright
Limerick remembers you.

But for the brave deed that he'd done
The grand Sir John was forced to fly,
He escaped, but was betrayed
His trial was all a mock, a lie.
They said he had defied the law,
Of treason guilty he had been.
And to satisfy their hate
They hanged him on the Gallow's Green.
O brave Sir John
When years roll on,
May your memory brighter grow.
May every Gael in Inishfail
Your hero history know.(continues on next page)- Informant
