SONG. THE IRISH VOLUNTEERS. Tune, "VOLUNTEER'S MARCH,"

In what history can you find, Of all the soldiers of mankind, A host of heroes form'd in line, Like IRISH VOLUNTEERS?

In ancient, or in modern days, Did poets ever tune their lays, To patriots crown'd with so much praise, As IRISH VOLUNTEERS?

What bright days throughout the year, At our reviews the nation cheer, When crowds immense haste far and near, T' admire our VOLUNTEERS?

The brave alone deserve the fair: The ladies who best judges are, Assert no soldiers can compare, With IRISH VOLUNTEERS?
