Tin-: BATTLE OF LIMERICK. 209 'Tis a national disgrace : Let me go and veil me face ; " And he boulted with quick pace from the Shannon shore. " Cut down the bloody horde ! " Says Meagher of the Sword, This conduct would disgrace any blackamore ; " But the best use Tommy made Of his famous battle blade Was to cut his own stick from the Shannon shore, o 210 Til A CKER Ar's Po EMS. Immortal Smith O'Brine Was raging like a line ; Twould have done your sowl good to have heard him roar In his glory ...he arose, And he rush'd upon his foes, But they hit him on the nose by the Shannon shore. Then the Futt and the Dthragoons In squadthrons and platoons, With their music playing chunes, down upon us bore ; And they beat the rattatoo, But the Peelers came in view, And ended the shaloo on the Shannon shore. 211 YOU'VE all heard of Larry O'Toole, Of the beautiful town of Drumgoole ; He had but one eye, To ogle ye by Oh, murther, but that was a jew'l ! A fool He made of de girls, dis O'Toole. 'Twas he was the boy didn't fail, That tuck down pataties and mail ; He never would shrink From any sthrong dthrink, Was it whisky or Drogheda ale ; I'm bail This Larry would swallow a pail.
