Hence, avaunt! ye savage train, And hear the cannon's roar; Unknown the godlike virtue how to yield To Cressy's or to Blenheim's deathful field; Begone, and sate your Pagan thirst of blood; Edward, fell homicide, awaits you there, And Anna's hero, both unskill'd to spare Whene'er the foe their slaught'ring sword withstood.

Of dithless fame immortal heirs, Here Sligo's bold brigade advance, Are scatter'd o'er the warlike plain, While Tipperary infantry pursues SW The Clognikelty horse and Ballyshannon blues.
