  1. (continued from previous page)
    Old Irelands tribes so glorious
    Who still have stood in fields of blood.
    Unbroken and victorious.
    Long as of old may Connacht hold.
    Her boast of peerless beauty.
    And Leinster show to friend and foe
    Her sons all prompt for duty.

    Tie up his tongue - am I not sprung
    From chiefs that all must honour
    The princely Geal, the great ONiell
    O'Kelly and O'Connor.
    O'Brien the strong, Maguire whose song
    Has won the praise of nations
    O'More the tough and big Branduff
    These are my blood relations
    Poetry set down by Philip Carolan
