There ne'er was his like in the land, since Eighteen-thirty-two.
Strong for the right, and strong in the fight, strong still in his tongue;
And peers shall go down before him, though the "feller" is not young.
Welcome him back, my brothers, from the North land far away,
Soon shall we liberty see, brothers, when Willy has won the day.
JAMES G. MEAGHER.
