Status: Needs Review

For he whom royal eyes disown
When was his form to courtiers known?

One thing to know I dearly wish;
Does fishing make men liars,
Or do only liars fish?

In Erin old there lived a mighty race
Taller than Roman spears.

"Stand upright,; speak thy thoughts,
declare
the truth thou hast, that all may hear;
Be bold, proclaim it everywhere;
They only live who dare."

Babes yet unborn will rue the day
that the Isle of Man was sold away.

Put not your trust in princes.

Happy hearts and happy faces,
Happy plays in grassy places,
That is how, in ancient ages.
Children grow to kings and sages.

Stand aside the traitor craven,
Stand aside who scoff and sneer,
stand aside the title-laden
None but men can enter here;
men of firm and true endeavour,
Men who falter not nor fear.

The coward slave who quits his post,
Let Argus eyes the traitor scan,
And infamy eternal brand
The anti-Irish Irishman.

[Whenever?] the proud was overthrown
Where the murmuring Whenever Blackwater
Divides us from County [Gone?]
