| Remember the glories of Brien the brave | A |
| Though the days of the hero are o'er | B |

| He returns to Kinkora no more | C |
| That star of the field which so often hath pour'd | D |
| Its beam on the battle is set | E |
| But enough of its glory remains on each sword | D |
| To light us to victory yet | E |

| Mononia when Nature embellish'd the tint | F |
| Of thy fields and thy mountains so fair | G |
| Did she ever intend that a tyrant should print | F |
| The footstep of slavery there | G |
| No Freedom whose smile we shall never resign | H |
| Go tell our invaders the Danes | I |
| That 'tis sweeter to bleed for an age at thy shrine | H |
| Than to sleep but a moment in chains | I |
| - | |
| Forget not our wounded companions who stoood | F |
| In the day of distress by our side | F |
| While the moss of the valley grew red with their blood | F |
| They stirr'd not but conquer'd and died | F |
| That sun which now blesses our arms with his light | F |
| Saw them fall upon Ossory's plain | J |
| Oh let him not blush when he leaves us to night | F |
| To find that they fell there in vain | J |
