A SONG FROM CORK.

AN RIDIRE BRIANACH.
Uilliam Buingeán cct.

Hurá! a Ridire chumasaigh Bhrianaigh!
Hurá! a Ridire thrúpa na srianta!
Hurá! a leinbh nár geineadh as fiadhaile,
Acht as ceart-lár ríghthe 'ghníodh dlighthe agus
riaghalta!

Mo ghrádh-sa an leanbh nár easguir(a)
i n-éinfeacht,
Acht d'fhás seachd dtroighthe go tara le
chéile;(b)
Mac an mharcaigh do ghreadadh na
méirligh
Ó Léim an Chapaill go M'alla na
méath-mhart.

Hurá! a Ridire etc.

Sin lacht luinge 'na thuille tré shliabh
chughainn
D'fhíon bhreagh bhorb gan dochal 'n-a
dhiaidh dhúinn!
Líontar gloine agus fiche chum 'Liaim de!
Sláinte an  Ridire chumasaigh Bhrianaigh

Hurá! a Ridire etc.

Ní'l fiú leanbh ná seana-bhean chríonda
O Bhunraite go Mainistir Ínse
Nach bhfuil ag preabadh chum baluithe
an fhíona,
A's é tá chaitheamh ag maithibh na tíre!

Hurá! a Ridire etc.

D' fhíontaibh dearga lachtanna a's
cróna(c)
Píopaidhe beathuisge, meadracha beórach,
Bíom dá mblaiseadh — go mblais-
eam go tóin iad,
'S go dtéidh an ghealach i bhfolach 'n-ár
mbrógaibh!

Hurá! a Ridire etc.

<L 42>
