i Remember the Glories of Brien the Brave iA

-
Remember the glories of Brien the braveB
Though the days of the hero are o'erC
Though lost to Mononia and cold to the graveB
He returns to Kinkora no moreD
That star of the field which so often hath pour'dE
Its beam on the battle is setF
But enough of its glory remains on each swordE
To light us to victory yetF
-
Mononia when Nature embellish'd the tintG
Of thy fields and thy mountains so fairH
Did she ever intend that a tyrant should printG
The footstep of slavery thereH
No Freedom whose smile we shall never resignI
Go tell our invaders the DanesJ
That 'tis sweeter to bleed for an age at thy shrineI
Than to sleep but a moment in chainsJ
-
Forget not our wounded companions who stooodG
In the day of distress by our sideG
While the moss of the valley grew red with their bloodG
They stirr'd not but conquer'd and diedG
That sun which now blesses our arms with his lightG
Saw them fall upon Ossory's plainK
Oh let him not blush when he leaves us to nightG
To find that they fell there in vainK
