Oh! Oscar, spare not the armed hero,

But the needy and feeble sustain;

Like the spring-tide stream rushing in winter

Attacking the foes of the Féinn;

But gentle as summer’s breathing wind—

To all that seek thy succour kind.

Such was the victor Treunmor,

And after him Trahal the brave;

And Finn, too, befriended the weak

From the power of the tyrant to save.
