Those scarpy brows of death to scale.

Down from that hoary rocky crest

Poured showers of fire into their breast;

Forward the fearless heroes leapt;

Mid clouds of slaughter on they swept;

“For Victory” the Lion roared;

The Finian clans unsheathed the sword,

Like rapid swollen floods in Clyde;

Grand, swift as Es-linn’s silver tide;

So rushed the heroes in their might
