English poem
A CALL TO IRISHMEN Tune, "WOLF AT QUEBEC."
by Anonymous
Now Hibernians bold and brave, Let us all combine and save This our nation, from dire slavery: For they rob us of our rights: And till Irishmen UNITES, We need never expect to be FREE.
Let us pull those villains down, Base minions of a crown, To enslave us is all they desire; And too well they did succeed: But Hibernia shall be freed, And fell tyranny shall soon expire.
Let us all our FREEDOM gain And our LIBERTY maintain, That our motto henceforward may be— Let Hibernia rest in peace, And each Party quarrel cease— Let all Mankind Unite and be FREE.
Let us cast away the yoke, And our chains will soon be broke— We will then be a Nation once more; Then our honour shall revive, When they see we are alive: Lo! fair FREEDOM approaches our shore.
