Who fears to speak of Ninety Eight	A
Who blushes at the name	B
When cowards mock the patriot's fate	A
Who hangs his head for shame	B
He's all a knave or half a slave	C
Who slights his country thus	D
But a true man like you man	E
Will fill your glass with us	D
	-
We drink the memory of the brave	C
The faithful and the few	F
Some lie far off beyond the wave	C
Some sleep in Ireland too	F
All all are gone but still lives on	G
The fame of those who died	H
All true men like you men	I
Remember them with pride	H
	-
Some on the shores of distant lands	J
Their weary hearts have laid	K
And by the stranger's heedless hands	J
Their lonely graves were made	K
But though their clay be far away	L
Beyond the Atlantic foam	M
In true men like you men	I
Their spirit's still at home	M
	-
The dust of some is Irish earth	N
Among their own they rest	O
And the same land that gave them birth	N
Has caught them to her breast	O
And we will pray that from their clay	L
Full many a race may start	P
Of true men like you men	I
To act as brave a part	P
	-
They rose in dark and evil days	Q
To right their native land	R
They kindled here a living blaze	Q
That nothing shall withstand	R
Alas that Might can vanquish Right	S
They fell and passed away	L
But true men like you men	I
Are plenty here to day	L
	-
Then here's to their memory may it be	T
For us a guiding light	S
To hear our strife for liberty	T
And teach us to unite	S
Through good and ill be Ireland's still	U
Though sad as theirs your fate	A
And true men be you men	I
Like those of Ninety Eight	A
