May fame resound a dismal tale,

Whene’er she lights on Doneraile;

May Egypt’s plagues at once prevail,

To thin the knaves at Doneraile;

May frost and snow, and sleet and hail,

Benumb each joint in Doneraile;

May wolves and bloodhounds race and trail

The cursed crew of Doneraile;

May Oscar with his fiery flail

To atoms thrash all Doneraile;
