Reproach of Erin, by rebellious aid
The lawless leader of a green tirade,
Vile-hearted despot of th' insurgent free,
How base the Bedlamite that ranks with thee,
Transporting legions from their present zone,
And making new Chronologies thine own!
That ready flow of eloquential lies,
That reckless love of nursed brutalities,—
Reveal the blackness of the plotting hate,
Though mumbling Fingal stroke thy fuddled pate:—
The day will come when cursed “O'Connell's” name,
Shall sound the trumpet of Hibernian shame!
The lawless leader of a green tirade,

Shall sound the trumpet of Hibernian shame!
