Why should we moan o’er times more blest?
Why should we wail? Our fathers worked!
The Tory must not peaceful rest,
The Irish Bill must not be burked!
’Tis but delayed, and time shall see
Another Ireland, glad and free!
Coercion now? Repression still?
Ah, no!—that sort of thing is dead!
You may reject our Home Rule Bill,
But tell us, what have you instead?
